Since you're not looking for knockoffs then lighting would be rigid, I'm running a set in my bumper with another on the way. They'll be great for any driving you do at night and on trails. Extra MPGS I'd recommend a CIA, exhaust, and a tuner with MPT tunes. I'm running the tunes on mine and bumped up from 11.2-14.5 on a 93 octane performance tune. Leveling kit, wheels, tires are all fairly mild as well

Haha yeah rigids quality comes with a price tag to match. If you're willing to drop the money on them though they're well worth it.

Hmmm, that truck looks very familiar. I just can't figure out where I've seen it before...

Nice Truck

Bama said it right, you need some tunes, (I'd pick SSi), some lighting, CAI is optional, then some small mods that make your life easier, like bed lighting, door Detent 3.0, Tailgate Assist, and if you don't have the tailgate step, maybe an AMP BedStep.

Rigid is the way to go for lights. First on the list, some SR-Q rear auxiliary lights, still one of my favorite mods on mine.

Then some D2 driving lights in the fog holes, and maybe an E/SR 20" in the lower bumper. That's how I'd do it.

Sounds about right, I do have the tailgate step already, but everything else looks good. Rigid does have some really nice products, I was looking at their light bars which are in the thousands. The smaller lights are a little more affordable. For the SR-Q rear lights, I'm assuming the floods would be preferable?

if you're not looking to light up anything and everything around you then a couple sets of duallies would do the trick, there's plenty of ways to mount them and they have multiple beam patterns so there a great all around choice

Here's a couple quick pictures of my truck I had on my phone. Just put the tires on a few weeks ago and plastidipped the stock 18s. I think they look pretty awesome black. Don't even look like the same wheel.

How many cans of plastidip did that take? I have stock 18's for winter and I might dip them... although... it's winter... not sure how well that'll hold up...

I've done 17's on my old car. Took a can to a can and a half each for inside and outside. Held up through winter like a dream.
