So here is my new F350 Platinum that I have been setting up for a few months. I posted a lot of this on PSN and I recently joined PowerstrokeArmy.com and have found that I am preferring this forum more now so I figured I would put this up for you guys. Based on the group here I am sure you'll approve of what I've done!

Here are some stock pics leading through the progess up to my most recent mod.

First mods were tinted windows and recon side lights

Then removed factory running boards for AMP steps

Then it went in for the suspension: Icon 4.5" stage 3 with their piggyback shocks up front and the 2.5 shocks in the rear. Went with Icon dual steering stabilizers and upgraded adjustable track bar. For the rear lift went with OUO large gusset traction bars with 7" block. Also added the 1" TEI spacer up front

Wheels are Fuel Mavericks 2-piece chrome in 20x10 with Nitto Trail Grapplers in 37x12.50x20

Just yesterday I installed my painted grill surround and I really love the difference that made.

Next will be tuning, exhaust and intake.

My last truck was a black 2008 Lariat F250 with a Pro Comp 6" lift with 22" black monsters and 37" Toyos. I missed that truck for a long time (sold it to an eager buyer about a year and a half ago). This thing has made me forget all about my old truck. Icon rides SO much better than that old Pro Comp. I love the little bit of chrome on this one. It is just the right amount I think. Now I do miss the power from my Spartan tuned 6.4L but this 6.7L is light years better in stock form compared to a stock 6.4L...that being said I still want that power. Tough not to once you had almost 600 HP before! My old truck is all over YouTube and made 582 on the dyno.

Here is link to my channel on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/user/superdutyscott

Hopefully soon I will put up some new videos of the new truck.

Anyway...sorry for the long post. Thanks for everyone's input on this forum that helped lead me to choices I made for this new truck.

Looks damn good. I have the stage 4 4.5" icon and love it! Add the power and you won't ever think about your old truck again. :welcome:

i like it all but the tailgate, the tailgate just doesnt do it for me.

OP your truck is sick looking, youve done a great job with it.

what size tires did you end up going with?

Yeah...I keep toying with the idea of Recon smoked LED tails and headlights.

SPE is definitely the way I was planning on. I already have an S&B intake and 5" exhaust waiting for install.
