Default new 2007 f150

This is the new truck I will be getting and I have a couple of questions about it.

http://auctiondirectusa.com/preowned...RX14W07NA22455

1) Is this thing already leveled?

2) Is there anything I can do about the chrome bumpers? I really want to lean more towards an all black body.

Thanks.

Must be cuz you're a Packers fan. Lol, just messin. Da Bears ;-)

Post the pic, or a link to the truck you are buyin, and you'll get some answers fast!

As far as the bumpers go, you have 3 options.

1) List on craigslist and hope someone wants to trade.

2) Buy a set from eBay and just swap out your bumper guts (frame work, lights, etc)

3) Sand down the chrome and paint the original bumpers to OEM Paint (this is hard but can be done)

Does not look to be leveled already and don't forget about the rhino liner option on the bumpers. Seems to be getting popular and I dont think it looks bad especially on black trucks!

Oh man. Well Bears are better than Vikings I suppose.

I edited the link back into my original post. Do you know about how much a new set of black bumpers would run me?

Look at the upper coil spring pocket, if the spring goes all the way up into the pocket it is stock. If it's leveled, you should see the bottom of the spacer and then the top of the coil spring.

i'll leave the bumper question for someone else but you could always do front and rear replacements. as far as the leveling kit, it looks like factory 4x4 to me.

You may be able to find someone with Black bumpers that wants chrome and just do an even trade.
