Default Help me choose my next upgrade

Hi everyone, so every year pretty much my girlfriend will get me some type of truck parts for my truck. The three things I am thinking about that I need you all to vote on are,

number one, new door speakers. I have the stock ford speakers currently and they sound alright. would I notice much of a difference with some aftermarket ones? I also have a pioneer double din unit that has an internal amp of 50x4. will that be enough or should I get an amp for them too.

number two. a leveling kit. now my truck has 125k on stock coil overs that seem to
be fine. should I go with new cool overs or just spacers.

and last would be a grille I am open to suggestions and any help would be great thanks!

WHATS more important to you? I started with my tones first. That what was more important to me. Then i did the level. The level is under a $100.00 if you are only doing the front. I did speakers, amp and subs. After the level i am know working and the rest. You need to just see what is more important.

I guess I am leaning towards speakers. I already have a sub under the back seat. I just am not sure how much better sounding aftermarket ones are.

Get a set of component speakers for the front. You will def notice a difference and it will only get better if you amp them. I have a set of polk audio 5 1/4 components unamped. I will amp them when I get some mechanical things fixed up.

Kenwood speakers....You won't be disappointed....also if you're looking into new shocks I would check into the rancho quick lifts....pretty nice setup.

As long as you dont get cheap crap you will notice it. If you want to really get great sound get good speakers and a small door speaker amp for it. It is more money but if you truly want good sound it will be worth it.
