Not yet I am hoping that will be taking place here within the week. The service dept has been waiting on the front/rear sway bars to come in before they pull her into the shop. But I at least have a teaser photo to show off in the meantime they'll be sporting Falken Ziek S/TZ-05 tires 305/45/R22 on all 4 corners. Was going to keep with the standard 275s but after factoring in the potential torque output I opted to get as much meat under her as I could.

Also, I am keeping my fingers crossed that I'll be able to swap out the Dub center caps with Ford ones that are currently on the truck. The 20s that are currently on it has a 3in center cap and I believe the Dubs have the same size... Or knowing my luck they'll be like 1/8-1/4" too small lol.

Best color out there! Looks like you got a healthy parts list already.

I also pulled my emblems off to be color matched and couldn't be happier

Lol. Or too big, either one wouldn't work.

Why are you going through the Ford dealer for everything? The sway bars are actually fairly easy to install in a driveway with basic hand tools from what I understand.

Like the build and the XL fender emblems on my STX bug the hell out of me as well. I will look into the 2018 badges. Oh, and as far as the door emblem, ditch it. But a true enthusiast will know by looking at your front bumper if its an eco, or a V8, just saying....

Oh I know. Honestly I can do all the work myself. I just wanted to be lazy this time around and do half the work myself and the other half through service. Plus, being small town, it allows them to also showcase them doing something other than lifted trucks for a little P.R./advertising kind of thing.

I looked on Fordparts.com. Do you have the part # for the STX fender emblems?
