Just gotta give kudos to Iron Cross customer service area.
After driving the truck for a while, I noticed the powdercoated blue front shackles had flaked / chipped off on a spot ( not big at all ) but I was slightly concerned as didnt want winter's salt to get in there and eat away at it all so I called them up about it and they sent me a free replacement set and didn't ask or require the original set to be mailed back to them.
I just thought it was pretty stand up of them as I was ready to mail the original set back in exchange and told them I could provide pics showing the chip but he said the one kit I received was just a one off bad job on the powerdercoat since usually, extremely durable and keep the original set and sent me a replacement set which I had a couple days later.
And I have the truck at a body shop atm right now, they are reasonably confident they can custom cut the front flares to fit the line of the new bumper for me.... we see how it turns out in a few days. :-)

Got the front fender flares on finally. Had a body shop do it for the fronts as they had to be custom cut with two angles to match the line of the Iron Cross bumper and came out pretty well overall. Def like the flares front and back, was starting to get used to just the flares on the back but seeing them matched up, gives it a much more even look. :-)
I do like my blue Fords... Ha!

Got my bottom rockers wrapped yesterday as well and came out pretty well.
Had it done in flat black ( to match tail gate ) with the brand names done in blue. Just various brand's of different parts that I'm rocking on the truck.
Came out pretty nice I think, it's a fairly subtle mod that blends right in with theme of rest of the truck, most folks wouldn't notice it until close bu I didnt want it to stand out like the tailgate does.
