Default Forward sensors

has anyone installed forward sensors on their truck? sure would help with pulling into parking stalls. i'm trying to get a feel for my front bumper but would hate to tap anything (don't want to scratch the paint)

I back into mostly every parking stall. Have also installed forward sensors on F-150s and Super Duty trucks. The kit comes with everything needed for install, most importantly the hole saw for drilling holes for the sensors.

Are you talking about a factory kit that would integrate with the backup sensors? I'd be interested in this as well.

Yes. Check this thread for more info: https://www.f150forum.com/f38/front-...111603/index2/

Kit can be purchased from your local dealer. Haven't looked for it online but I can get a part number from work tomorrow.

they dont necessarily have to be integrated with the backup sensors. all i want is a set of sensors on the front that would behave the same as the backup sensors. i heard the factory sensors work well, just have to figure out how to install them (or get them installed)
