    ive been reading up alot for my own also. the sensors have one minor wiring change if you use the ones already in the bumper. ive seen them as high as 300 range but wouldnt do more than 2 on one honestly.

    who told you that the 08 mirrors need trimming? im pretty sure theyre a driect bolt on. if you look at it the cab of the f250's hasnt changed since 99 (body lines doors etc not the bed or front clip) i have door handles from an 09 on my 04

    yea wasnt me. ive heard they greatly improve the visibility in the mirrors and the blind spot mirrors cuz of the size.

    the handles basically look the same from the outside but have an extra tab on the bottom to keep them from being pried up and jimmied. i also put a rear handle on my front driver door so i dont have locks anymore on my handles

    top is 04 bottom is 09

    this is one of the things I love about the f250s, almost everything is interchangeable between generations
