How difficult was the tint install on headlights and taillights? It looks great! This is my same build!
The tint for the lights was definitely a chore to install, it was my first time doing it.
lining everything up wasn’t hard but getting rid of all the small bubbles and shrinking it with heat too some time, took me about 3 hours do complete both sets, mainly because the tail lights come in 3 pieces each, and for the headlights it is a single piece per headlight and a single piece per fog light.
Also, I wish it were a little darker in the front, the picture on their website looks a little darker it is the “tint” shade and I should’ve gone with “gunsmoke” which is what is on the rear.
LAMIN-X does send a full installation guide and kit with everything you need to install it which does make it easier.

I actually like the "tint" shade quite a bit. Looks great.

Are the Terra Grapplers the light weight ones? Did you see a change in MPG'S?

Not sure if they are lightweight, to be honest , didn't know they had a lightweight!
Pulled off Hankooks 275/60R20's and went with Nitto Terra Grappler G2's 275/65R20.
So about the same size....haven't been driving on new tires long enough to notice a milage difference, though I suspect if there was one, it would be very little milage difference given the tires are very close in size.
The Nittos definitely look better!

Just finished install of Bedrug and Truxedo Truxport tonneau cover today and very happy with the result!
First time using a Bedrug in a pickup (buddy recommended it) and like the look.
Have a trailer for hauling big stuff and the Bedrug looks like carpet around the sides and cab, while the floor looks like a non-slide rubber mat.

2021 f150 Leadfoot
Just bought a 2021 lead foot XLT 302A 3.5EB a few weeks ago, the build is finally done for now. (Until I get the urge to do more)

mods so far:
1-tinting the front windows to match the rear.
2-tinting headlights and taillights with LAMIN-X DIY kit.
3-Gator soft tonneau cover.
4-husky all weather floor liners.
5- front and rear emblem overlays.
6-EIBACH Adjustable coilovers in the front lifted almost 3 inches.
7-EIBACH Rear shocks.
8-Icon compression wheels 18x9 +6 offset in satin black.
9-BFG KO2 tires in a 305/65R18.


wheels and tires fit perfect with no rubbing at all, suspension rides great so far and everything els works and looks great!

here are some pics from before and during the build.

Look like you did a little bit of plastic cutting on the front for the tires to clear. Do you have any rubbing on the crash bars?

did you remove the sticker for the sport on your own? I’ll have an FX4 and I hate the look of the stickers

Yes indeed. I peeled it off within a week of ownership. Didn’t even leave any adhesive behind. Easy peasy.

no rubbing on the crash bars, very close up front maybe half an inch at full lock, it has a little more room in the rear crash bar.
The plastic is another story, the shop that installed my suspension, wheels and tires trimmed the plastic without telling me, when turning the wheel all the way it doesn’t look like it would’ve touched but of course I have no way of knowing.
They are working on getting me a new air dam or find another way to compensate me for that.
I wouldn’t go any bigger with an offset like I have or lower, I know 34s fit with +20 and 35s with +34.

I can confirm 100% that a Zero offset with a 17x8.5” wheel works with absolutely ZERO cutting/trimming with 34x11.50’s.

Looks great.
Thanks!
