2015 PLATINUM Pics- New Wheels and Lift

[truckman1974]

Ok, I'm with ya now.....

Well, hard to say really. I, personally, wouldn't put those lights in my bumper although I understand why people do. Having said that, now fully understanding what you're asking....IF you decided to put them, and being that your bumper is black, I would think they look better tinted. BUT....since you do have other chrome things going with the black on your truck I think it would look nice NOT tinted as well.

So basically, I have provided you no assistance at all...lol. I ordered one of those LED light bars that goes under the tailgate and top of the bumper. I had one on a previous truck and it threw out enough light (it lit up white when in reverse) to allow me to see what I needed to see on the back up camera. I'm gonna try it again on this one. Plus, I ordered some new LED tail lights that moves the reverse light from up top to the bottom of the brake light and hopefully will allow it to throw a little more light out since it's a tad bigger.

can you post a pic of the reverse lol ghts going from top to bottom? The reason I ask is because top is clear and bottomis red. How would that add more visibility? What bulb are you gonna use?

On the lights that I bought (pictured below) on ebay (pics also came from ebay listing....that's not my truck), the white part is at the bottom of the light fixture...it's reversed. With that area being a little larger and closer to the ground I would think it would permit it to throw out a little more light. That combined with the LED light bar that I bought for under the tailgate, it should throw out plenty of light for backing up and using the camera.

Here's a few pics of the taillights.

I don't know call me crazy but I miss my 6.4. I really liked the6.4

I've got parts that will make you not miss that 6.4 power anymore. Lmk. Have some nice packages available.

Truck looks great btw!

I saw it was a 3.5" lift, just curious which one and I assume those are 22x12 wheels. Any rubbing issues?

Great idea! I actually have the recon smoked but don't like the gap that it leaves between the platinum panel on tailgate because they are too flush. So I ordered new ones.

thank you Morgan!! Really? Please tell me what all that entails. And then tell me how much cheddar and why so much? Jk about the why so much part but yes.. Explain please im very very interested. I used to have KEM tunes on my 6.4 350 ho to be exact

It's a mutt lift lol
3.5" procomp nitro
4.5" icon radius drop brackets
Fabtech adjustable track bar
And yes they are 22x12" with -40 offset
As for rubbing! I ended up putting .5" spacer on front bumper and trimming one side of inner fender well plastic liner. VERY VERY MINIMAL.
And now no rubbing at all

I purchased these smoked ones.

I hope the chrome is less visible though.

Did you just order those or you had already ordered them? I like those too....

I figure between that and the little Line of Fire light bar that lights up white when in reverse I should be set.... (it's only about $40)

That's the fire and ice bar right?

 

[truckman1974]

yep, I believe so. I think they're all pretty much the same. The only one I don't suggest is the one that's floppy....like, you can roll it up and unroll it.

Here's the link to the one I purchased:
