I'll post pics if anyone is interested. I'll probably have the Lariat chrome grille for sale if anyone lives in the Nashville area.
Did you have it paint matched or is it the matte version that comes with the sport?

I actually bought this truck in Nashville!

It's a sport grille and I had it paint matched with the truck. Too much chrome up front for me. Being put on right now.
That's wild you bought that here too, I think yours has the fx4 add on, mines just the 4x4. Guess I'm getting old, looking for the smooth ride. ��
Bought mine at two rivers ford

Yeah mine is the FX4 but the reality is that all of that will be taken off eventually anyway. I'll be interested to see how your grill turns out. I am thinking about doing the same thing (not a fan of the matte grill look personally). I will be painting the mirror covers and handles soon. The bumpers will be coming off so I don't think I'll bother doing those.

I thought about painting the mirrors too, but after talking with Price's ( that who's painting it, like 10 min from the house) they really don't recommend painting over chrome. 1 rock and its chip city. Not sure what my plan is with the mirrors.
It's funny, I've got the 502A, changed those fog lamps to leds, and upgraded sync to 2.2/swapped out the USB hub. Same as you, lol
If you haven't had it leveled yet, I highly recommend it, much better look. There's a wheel store in Smyrna that did it for 295, that's with the tax.

The plan is to go with a 6" lift on 35's.

Very nice. I know that Ford has installed some metal bars in the front of those tires/ rear of the bumper. Hopefully the lift will take care of those being an issue

The crash bars. There are several ways to go about it (one is just removing them). Generally, the higher you go the less of an issue they are. I do travel a lot in this truck though so I don't want to go too extreme.
