Here's the spreadsheet. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15xUAfwJ7bq13kS6hsMqiywd4-oWZg4aoYfGLCMTTO5Y/edit#gid=1226233122 Not sure if that's what you meant.

Finally got around to raising the truck with a 2 1/2" Ready Lift in the front and 4" blocks in the rear. Changed the stock 18" rims with a set of OEM Platinum rims with 295/65-20 Nitto Terra Grapplers. Also installed a set of Bilstein 5100's. Removed the "4X4" decal too. When I pulled in the parking lot to pick up the truck I smiled and said that's what this truck should look like. Rides better than stock. I think I'm done adding accessories .... for now.

Update on the chrome letters.... First of all I bought two sets, what I didn't know is they give you doubles of every letter so 4 sets. I watched the video and went at it. I only messed up on one letter, the three legs of the E stuck to itself. After I was done I put it in the sun to let the soapy water evaporate. I probably needed to squeegee the edges more but the more I fiddled with them the more I had to reposition them and thought just leave it alone. Next day I tried to wax them in carefully and sure enough I caught the top of the S with a microfiber towel and lifted the edge. I'm thinking there's no way these can stick to the raised letters without eventually being damaged. I'll start from scratch after another letter gets mess up but I think these would work a lot better on recessed letters like on the hood. It's a shame because they do look great on the tailgate.

Rear of the truck was a little boring so I added chrome lettering. Gonna wax them in and see how they hold up. Not bad for $11.

Very sharp and right up my alley with the Truck and Gun. Black on Black.... Interested in those Raptor Lights.

You should be fine in North Carolina compared to Northern NY. I think the truck looks better without running boards hanging down but that's me. I opted to not install the stainless strip on the outside edge which makes them almost disappear when retracted.

My opinion on Amps is when they work they're great. Mine crapped out after two years but I live in snow country where the norm in winter is snow, slush and road salt/sand. They have a 5 year warranty but when the pins in the brackets start getting tight, the motors can't retract or extend all the way and that's on you. I power washed them regularly and still had to remove the steps and soak the pins with every lubricant known to man and still couldn't get them to work when exposed to the cold. Our Expedition (under warranty) boards and my old Navigator both had issues. If you live in a warm climate they're fine but I'd say forget them if your truck is exposed to winter conditions. I ordered OEM powered steps on my new truck because they'll be under warranty for as long as I own the truck. If they crap out this time I'll just bring the truck in tell them to fix it.

I went conservative because I need the truck for plowing my driveways in the winter. Plow was scraping the road way more than when it was mounted on my 2019 SD. 2.5" Ready Lift Level for the front and 4" blocks for the back. I bought a set of take-off Platinum rims and 29565-20 Nitto Terra Grapplers. Shocks are TBD. Also, because of the plow frame I'm getting conflicting info that I'll need adjustable 2" sway bar end links. I saw this picture (same setup) and was sold! I'll have the same in black ?

Bought new tires yesterday, lift kit today, new wheels two weeks ago. Told her it's better having a summer/winter setup for plowing. ?

Looks sharp Chuck, love the white. Can't wait for pictures of a side shot with the wheels and tires out of the shadow. Good luck with your new ride.

Now that makes more sense.

I was thinking the same thing but didn't want to post it. Or it could be a part was recalled while in-transit, again only speculation. Good luck

Her name isn't Barbara by any chance? ?

Congrats on getting your truck! Waiting for pics of the new truck with the fancy shoes.....

Going through the same thing on my truck but will be using OEM Platinum rims and a larger tire for summer. My thoughts so far from what I'm reading and the issue I have with the plow hanging lower than it was on my 2019, I'm gonna need to add a lift/level. The newer trucks running 35's need a minimum of a front level kit (2" or 2.5") for clearance/rubbing issues. That said, I'm not a fan of the nose high look so I'll be adding larger blocks on the rear to keep the rake relatively stock. Hate to do things twice.. Looking for input too.

I don't think Ford offers factory delivery.

They all have them.

Amen brother!

Tighter than two coats of paint ....

"I don't really like any kind of extra labels. It seems like advertising the vehicle to a potential buyer. I bought it, no more need to advertise. I find Chevies to have some of the most cringe worthy like the year(s) Camaros had ABS in the wheel hubs. And ABS is now like, meh, whatever. But now those Camaro owners are stuck with that if they want to stay stock." I'm with you on labels, can't wait until I remove the 4X4 sticker on the truck as if you can't tell. Lame graphics do nothing for me. As far as the Godzilla thing, when those "HEMI" dorks wanna go they'll know what it is.

I literately spent months looking for a new set of platinum rims for my '19 and now the new truck. Last year I found a decent set with low mileage Michelin tires for LESS than I paid for the take-off rims I bought a few weeks ago! ? Now this... damned if you do, damned if you don't.... you won't have any problem selling. Good luck

Supply and demand my behind, this sharp rise in a such a short amount of time is called gouging. Supply hasn't changed that much if any and I'm sure demand hasn't increased to justify these prices. I call BS.

BJ's upstate/northern NY $3.85/gal regular, that's with 10 cents off for using BJ credit card. Went up to camp this afternoon to plow slush off my road so it doesn't turn to ice again, used around $40. worth of fuel plus I got nipped for lunch with the old lady.

Had it in my last Corvette, never used it. Was more of a distraction than helpful.
