- Led internal lighting - Amazon has kits for less than $30
- 2x8 cut to bed width to stop things sliding deeper into the bed
- Tow mirrors! So nice even if you don't tow!
- Tinted windows

For me, but not necessarily in this order,


1)Exhaust because I can't stand not being able to hear it when accelerating
2)Custom tunes as I hate the throttle delay
3)Sound System/HU so you can hear over your exhaust
4)Bed liner
5)Tonneau Cover
6)LT Headers because they just sound amazing and low end grunt

Hey guys I was wondering what up grades I should do to my truck, it's an f 150 with 5.4 and I just wanted to know the best items and maybe what needs to be done first before going on to more extreme
I got my 09 F-150 5.4 XL Supercrew earlier this year. The guy who had it previously had started trying make it look like a Raptor. When I got it, it already had new rims with Cooper tires, subwoofer, Raptor stickers on the rear panels, bedliner, and aftermarket front and tail lights.

I've then added:

1) Cold Air Intake (aFe)
2) Cat-back exhaust (MBRP)
3) Tuner (Hypertech Max Energy, but moving to SCT shortly)
4) Fender flares (the tires stick out a bit!)
5) Tailgate assist (deezee)
6) New door speakers (Alpine) and head unit (Pioneer) (+ replacement dash panel for the touchscreen head unit)
7) Tailgate handle backup camera
8) Nerf step bars

I was going to do a 4" lift, but the existing tires are 31.5" and nearly new so didn't want to have the cost of going to 33" tires to get 'the right look' on a 4" lift.

So, Fox 2.0 front coilovers and rear suspension, with Camburg UCAs, should go on this weekend. This will level it, and by all accounts improve the handling and ride. The new throttle body will also be fitted. I then need to get the front seats to an upholsterer as the foam hasn't stood the test of time!! I'm also looking at LED light bars for when we go to the beach/camping.
