Tailgate Assist Shock by DeeZee
This small accessory, as the name suggests, helps in lowering the tailgate in more safely without any abrupt jerk.
Our top use cases that make this so great are
- Lowering the gate with heavy loads such as dirt or lumber.
- Preventing the tailgate from slamming dow
- Allowing easier 1 handed operation
With this shock in place its so easy to open, even my 3 year old daughter can open it.

LED Bed Lights by NiLight
We have had these guys installed for over 4 years without a single issue. These lights are extremely bright and light up the entire bed. The light makes it great when you have to load and onload during the night. They are especially good if you run a bed cover so you can see all the way to the back day or night.
For quick installation you can wire them into your tail lights so they have power when your parking lights are on, or with a bit more work you can wiring them into a permanent power source so they work day or night, with or without the truck on (this is what we recommend). We even wired a switch so they automatically turn on when you open your tailgate. For the low price this solution is a must for anyone looking to upgrade to your bed.

Raptor Style 3rd Brake light
Factory 3rd brake lights plastic get old and yellow and upgrading them can be functional and give a modern look that stands out. We are big fans of the Precision Design solution. Is a great value and feature upgrade over a factory Raptor or standard F150 Third brake light. It has an aggressive look, Iconic three red LED Raptor brake-lights and 2 bright chase lights. It does require a bit more hands-on work to install over OEM or other aftermarket options but overall it’s a great upgrade for any Ford F150.

Sequential Mirror turn lights by RUXIFEY
This sequential turn light mirror combo is purely athletics but they make a huge difference and we think they are worth it. They turn a boring single flashing led mirror light into a sequential, directional solution for both sides of your mirror. Not just the backside factory replacement but the reverse side that holds a boring reflector. Gone and replaced with a modern look guaranteed to turn heads. We highly recommend you buy both side lights as a pair. This is because the factory location replacement comes with an extra set of power pins to plug the reflector replacement in so there is no need for wiring, just plug and play.
Led Headlights from AlphaRex
AlphaRex is our new favorite when it comes to F150 lighting. They offer 2 sets of headlights depending on your budget and they are both brighter than the factory F150 Halogen lights. They offer a true daytime running light, sequential switchbacks, turn signals and a unique look you will not find anywhere else. Form and function are right on point.
