The falkens are good so far. Even wear and after 15k miles they still have a little over 50% tread left. They're quiet and ride well. Only downside is they're a heavy tire and my mpg definitely took a hit. About 2 mpg depending on the driving and terrain.

Close to done
Hey Guys, OP here...
Here are the latest pics as of 2.15.15 or so. Still have some ideas to take action on but most of the hard stuff is done.

To be honest I think your truck looked better before the tinted tails! Something about tinting them takes away from the look of the truck IMO.
Love the bumpers tho!!
What are the painted bumpers made from?? Are they plastic??? I have chrome myself and was thinking i will just paint them. I did it on my old truck, with wet sanding and adhesion promotor and they looked great. Never had any problems with flaking etc. I just figure the chrome bumper must be stronger than the painted ones you can get from ford? Or am I completely wrong???

Re
Your truck looks great! but you're already most of the way blacked out so I'd go with the painted bumpers. They are metal... I just worried the paint wouldn't stick for a long time so I bought painted bumpers online, prepped and resprayed them. As for my tails .... I've been on the fence myself. I think it looks kind of cheap. I've been looking for a nice LED tail that doesn't look too "look at me!" but haven't found any I really like yet.
