I guess I should have specified better, why not just go 3" to keep CV angle better instead of DB 6"?

Personal preference. ProComp lift kits keep the stock geometries and angles better than a leveling kit. Plus I like the ride height of a six inch than anything else.

I like the understated confidence the 2015+ F150 has without a ton of modifications. Most of my 'mods' are to keep my truck neat and tidy. I have had my truck for 11 months now, and I have _NO_regrets with the truck or my minor mods.


3M ScotchGuard Pro Series Paint Protection Film (Full Frontal Coverage)
Bak Revolver X2 Tonneau
Husky X-ACT contour Front Floor Liners
Ford Molded Splash Guards (Fr/Rr)
The last thing I just did was wrap the plastic door trim between the windows. The 'gloss' black plastic showed too many scratches, so I went for a subtle Carbon Fiber look with the 3M 1080 CF12 product. I just bought a 60" x 12" piece off of Amazon and trimmed it myself.

I considered a matte black wrap, but the CF-look wrap adds a little dimension to the parts.

There are a few companies that sell pre-cut kits of this exact material for as much as $100 or more, but I paid $20 for that 60" x 12" sheet. Wrapping and trimming vinyl isn't that hard if you are handy and take your time.

Mine are wrapped with matte black. I have a whole roll of CF wrap, but it's almost not worth shipping to another member for as little as you can buy it for.

If there's someone in Tampa that wants 1'x5' for $5, come grab it.

How is the Matte Black holding up? I have a couple pear trees by my driveway that tend to scrape the B-Pillars. Does the Matte show any scratches?

Of course, you could easily pull it off and redo on occasion

Mine is fine, but I haven't run it through any brush yet. The worst part of re-wrapping is cutting around the keypad.

Do you have to remove panels to apply the wrap? Thanks.
