Default Best first mods?

What are some of the best mods to get right off the bat? I will be picking the truck up this week and Im looking to start modding it pretty quickly. Most likely in this order.
Window Tint
2.5" Leveling kit
Wheels and tires
Magnaflow exhaust
And then after those Im stumped!

Help me out with what you guys think.

Id like to get some power mods but Im not sure what to get. I know a CAI would be good, but wouldn't that build a need for a re-tune? Ive been looking at tuners but the more I read, the more opinions I see which confuses the hell outta me. What is a good programmer to get if the truck will see 90% everyday driving and maybe 10% towing? Ive been reading good things about the Edge tuners. What do you all think?

So if I'm only gonna be running the exhaust and CAI performance wise, would a custom be good or would a canned tune be okay too?

#1 should be the Edge or similar tuner. Most bang for the buck.
#2 should be the GOTTS mod - no need for CAI.

Forgot about the GOTTS mod! Thanks! So I should get a tuner first then? The GOTTS mod wouldn't need a re-tune surely.

The difference the tuner makes for performance is unbelievable. I bought a used one on the Forum a couple months back. Would pay for a new one now if no used ones available.
Check out responses fro others.
No tune is necessary for the GOTTS.

Would high recommend the edge. Especially if you have a 4.6. Day and night difference!

Tune it, level it, then gotts or CAI it. Maybe a new grill and Harley headlights for a more visual mod.
