2016 Ford F150 XLT – Blackout Build

A molded bumper guard and tailgate applique from Air Design make this blackout build stand out from other lifted packages.

We used a 6-Inch Suspension Lift Kit from Rough Country to jack its stance upward. It features a set of lifted knuckles and strut spacers, which give you the height to run up to 35-inch tires with proper wheel spacing. Choosing the right lift kit provides off-road performance while maintaining a smooth highway ride.

Custom Vinyl Graphics

We maxed out that extra space with 18-Inch KMC XD Series Machete wheels wrapped with 35-inch Nitto Exo Grappler AWT tires. The satin black finish matches the other blackout styling elements of the package. The open all-terrain tread pattern of the tires give the truck an aggressive look.

Offroad Lighting

With a huge lift and huge tires to match, it’s only appropriate to include a 30-inch light bar in the grill to make nighttime off-roading an option. The LED bar from Rough Country fits at the base of the grille and works with the integrated fog lights and day time running lights of the Air Design bumper.

Unique Body Kit

We used several pieces from the Air Design body modification collection to make this blackout build stand apart from others. We chose the Front Bumper Guard and tailgate applique to alter the factory look without completely changing its identify.

All pieces are constructed using Air Design’s SUPER RIM “Super Reaction Injection Molding” technology. This produces pieces that adhere to the vehicle’s surface without vibration or paint wear. We left the pieces unpainted which saves on cost and matches the satin black wheels.

Custom Vinyl Graphics

We designed a custom hood stripe and matching bed stripes to add to the custom appearance. We use premium cast vinyl that has a durability of up to 10 years to ensure these graphics look good for years to come.

Visit our graphics category to check out all our vinyl options, or contact us for a custom application for your build. We also wrapped the front Ford emblem in matte black vinyl.

We finished the build with Suntek Carbon Series window tinting and drop steps from N-Fab.
