I'll try to post pics soon. We've been in the process of moving and I've just recently found the camera & charger. There's nothing earth-shattering about either one but I'll post pics anyway.

As far as air dams go, I've seen conflicting results. They help by reducing air flow under the truck (which is typically high drag. However, it also increases your frontal area--which hurts. Big Dave on this site, who has a F-350 put on an air dam, and I don't think he saw much of any difference. My personal opinion is that a belly pan would be considerably better than an air dam, because it improves the flow under the truck, but doesn't increase frontal area.
