I know I was really curious to see what the new front suspension on the 05 super duty looked like up close, and when I was at a car show the other day there was one right there on the lot and I had my camera with me so I snapped a few pics figuring some of you guys might like to see...

the new grill...

That all stock? Looks like aftermarket parts or something... the new Super Duty is gonna be an awesome truck once all the mods just start pouring in...

Thats all stock! I love the new look of the front end. Doesn't look like it has much travel till those bright yellow bump stops hit!

I thought the same thing

Steering dampeners?

I was looking for them mounted on the axle tube like normal...
