Ford Performance Tremor Skid Plate Kit install... Done!

Looks good. Did you also install dead head plugs for the air dam? I found them online and it was less than $15 for them. Also anyone with a 5.0 will not have to remove the grille and upper bumper cover

Plugs?

Okay I was confused because it was much less than $15 when I did mine.

See above. 5.0 doesn’t have intercooler also to be in the way

For anyone that may be looking, Levittown Ford has them for $512.20 right now. Benny is great to work with.

Just a satisfied customer over a few years.

Can you do this after you already did the install?

As long as the connector is still accessible, absolutely!

Long thread here about installing the Tremor skid plates then Ford conveniently made this kit to help out.

This is a kit now?! I think I'm going to have to order it... and Done!

Hopefully Ford Performance will release a Tremor skid plate kit for 2021 trucks made before June 2021. Would buy it if Ford makes it.

Anyone install this kit on a 2021 Job 1 F-150?

Seems to me a Job 1 frame could be modified to work with a drill and Dremel tool.

Or... Someone could just make brackets to fit the job 1 trucks.

This bracket seems to be the issue and I don't see why an alternate could not be made.

This is of course assuming the ONLY change between job 1 and job 2 are the front frame holes and not other mount points as well.

I think someone has posted their late job 1 had the proper hole position for the kit.

Really just need to go measure what you have and you might get lucky...

Anyone do any mileage tests pre/post removing the air dam?

Mileage? We drive bricks down the road.

I did lose I think 0.5 MPG removing the stuck active air dam but I still get 20 MPG in city driving with my 2.7 motor.
