Default Front Bumper Valance Interchangeability?

I just bought a 2007 F150 FX2 Sport that I would like to do some minor modifications to, and I have some questions.

First of all, I know this is unusual and odd, but I would like to replace the sport valance on the front bumper with a standard valance which comes on the other submodels. Are those valances interchangeable, or do I have to replace the entire bumper assembly? Obviously, replacing the valance only is a much cheaper option.

Secondly, this truck came with lower profile tires than I desire. Can I just replace the tires with a higher profile size, or will I need to put a lift kit on before hand?

Sorry for my ignorance... I've just recently become interested in this type of thing. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

A lot of guys on here add the Fx2 valence, so I'd bet it's a pretty easy swap. You could probably find someone on here that would trade you for the one you want.

What is your current tire/wheel size? You should be able to fit 31x12.50s stock.

Here's some good tire/wheel info: https://www.f150forum.com/f4/tire-wh...04-08-a-24510/

They're 18 in. rims, but I'm not positive about the tire size. I'll have to look.

Thanks for the info... I appreciate the help!

No problem.

You can look into adding a "leveling kit", they are cheap, easy to install, and will allow you to fit up to around a 33x12.50
