I'm gonna take mine off and if they are 2 piece I'm just gonna use them. If they're 1 piece I'm gonna buy the limited fender badges. They just have the F150 and not the little finger thing sticking off with the trim level. I think they look clean. I would get some that are 2 piece so and paint them.
Thanks. Should look good with either, like the idea of the limited badges though.

Yeah man, if I can swing the old lady to let me get them I will probably just do that. They just look so clean without that piece connected to them like where they say platinum xlt fx4 blah blah. Plus if they're 2 piece they'll be real easy to paint.

David did you put the rear shackles on? and did they work? I was going through the lift kit parts and were bummed that it came with 4 1/2 inch rear blocks. So i went out today looking for some shackles or larger blocks with no luck. One shop thought that I should install a set of Air Lift bags to help lift the rear. Any thoughts? I'm going to do the lift this comming friday, and am going to put it on just the way it came, then look to see what I can do better. Wheels orderd last friday from Brian@truckimage.. Thanks Brian..Anyway just wanted your ideas. Thanks

No man not yet. I'm hoping to get them on today. Brian is an awesome guy, Billy too. Truckimage is definitely going to continue to get lots of my money that's for sure. You're gonna love the kit man, ride quality, construction, appearance are all, amazing. I'm with you though, the small block bummed me out but I'm pretty sure these shackles will even me out perfectly. Once I get them on I can send you the link for where I ordered them. It literally took a day and a half and they were here. Good luck on the install, if you get snagged anywhere feel free to ask and I'll try and help you out.

Just ordered a set of OEM take offs which should be here this week, and tomorrow morning I will be making a call to theretrofitsource to get a kit on its way. Grille has been ordered too, it should all come together very soon.
