Going from Lariat to FX4

I have always loved the look of the FX4's. Grille, painted bumpers, shocks, and wheels etc. I have been thinking about getting some FX4 wheels and a sticker. Im thinking aboiut slowly turning it into a FX4. What do you guys think? Of course I am doing this for looks only. And by any chance someone in the Memphis area want to swap my 18" Lariat wheels for 18" FX4's?

Thats pretty much the only difference there is...I guess the shocks are different to.

Stick the Fx4 grille on, paint your bumpers, swap wheels, but please dont put FX4 stickers on it. It might look like an FX4 when your done, but it isnt...

Shocks are the same
As far as the sticker goes. I would only do it if it has the whole conversion. Dont forget the skid plates.

No, they are different. Different part numbers. Different valving.

Just riding in both trucks you can tell they are much different.

Same here. Went from an 06 Lariat Scab to a 07 FX4 Screw. Lost the leather and picked up the flow through console. Very happy with the change.

I have my FX4 grille for sale. The problem is, my surround is Dark Shadow Grey. You'd have to have it painted white. Anyway, lmk if interested?
