Default ford superduty customization/opinions

looking for some info and answers to satisfy my curiosity.

-anyone know if the new 08 superduty parts will fit the 99-03 models
(tailgate particularly, also mirrors and grille/bumper, etc)

-im also looking to buy new shocks soon....any recommendations? the truck is lifted 8"....

IF ANY ONE CAN PHOTO SHOP GOOD, MAYBE SHOW ME A BLUE...OR A BLACK & ORANGE...OR JUST ANY IDEAS FOR A GOOD PAINT JOB.

thanks in advance.

this is what im working with right now.....



HERE IS WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE EARLIER THIS YEAR

Tail lights will fit, tail gate will fit from what im told. They also make the fender grills. I doubt the front end will swap over because the grill/lights/bumper/hood all fit together pretty specifically unlike the 99-07s. Im not sure about the mirrors. As for shocks Im a fan of the bilsteins and also fox shocks. Ill be buying bilsteins here soon, just because Fox is so damn expensive. The 08 tail lights look great on the earlier year trucks.

front end won't work. tailgate and taillights will work just fine. do the 05 conversion on your truck. i just did the headlights, header panel, and all the harnesses and it made the world of difference especially that my truck is sonic blue which is very rare. if i were you, i'd lift it more.

trust me man. i'd love to send that thing into the sky and get some 49's or 52's but as we all know oh too well about virginia....our laws suck balls. im close enough to the limit with what i have and my small town cops dont really say much b/c i know em all. but out of town, i have been checked a few times...i just like to laugh at the dumbass who thought it was too tall!!

i have 38 x 15.50's now. the pic with the tonneau cover up is 39.5's. i dont get a whole lot of hassle from the cops...but just some. there was a guy in va beach that had a f250 on 49" iroks and the bottom of the truck was like 6" above the tires....he told me he had no trouble with the cops but i found it hard to believe b/c he was clearly about a foot over the limit.
