You're looking for 2.3k.

K=thousand


You're original 2300k is equivalent to 2,300,000 miles.

DON'T GET PISSY UNLESS YOU'RE 100% SURE YOUR CORRECT.
Thank you for the lesson professor!

You can find a place to tint most of the time locally. Rims are all over. I use Discount Tire.

You can probably find one at Auto Zone or maybe WalMart. Follow the instructions. When you're done,wash and then wax.

Always wash first before starting any cleaning/waxing. You will be grinding dirt into the clear coat otherwise.

Well my brother-in-law did first was he added a tool box which made the truck look better. And I got him a leveling kit which he is waiting to put on cuz he wants to use up his tires first then get 35s

Spend a few WEEKS looking and reading on here, no offense intended but it seems like your not very mechanically inclined or know much about these trucks yet. So spend some time reading and learning about what you can do yourself and what you should have done by someone else. Don't just go spend money ***** nilly and get ripped off, because shops know when a kid with a new truck comes in a don't know crap about what stuff will cost and get ripped off.

I implore you read read read!!!

Our trucks look pretty similar. I put rear drop shackles to make it sit level (since I almost never tow) $150. Got a grillcraft mx black mesh grill $200. Hids (aka the blue lights) I did 6000k (that is the color they burn at, not just pained blue) they look more white (not factory yellow) with a hint of blue which is classier then the ricer blue 10000k or 12000k for $60 from DDM tuning. Spray in bedliner $400. Darkest legal tint all the way around paid $200 at the dealer but you could get it for about $120 elsewhere. Viper 5901 w/autostart $500 installed. Flowmaster 40 si/do with turndowns for $125. Just a few ideas to get you started I remember getting my first f150 at 18 ( I'm only 22) and had a blast! Only real advice is to listen to the guys and do crazy amounts of research because you don't want to make any mistakes and have to buy something twice cz the first one sucked!

This is probably the best advice that i've heard yet. When i was looking for a leviling kit, rims, and tires I spent probably 4-5 weeks of reading f150 forums so i could make a informed purchases.
