Question New Canvas 2004 F150

I have a 2004 F150 Supercrew Waitin on me me when I get home. I was just recently deployed shortly after buying this truck and I'm pretty excited about the money I'm going to have to spend on it. Only thing is, it's my first truck and i'm not sure what to get first. I'm going to have about 10 grand to spend when i get back and I have a list of things I want but i'm not sure what to do first. I know I want an aggressive looking truck with a lift and bigger tires, but i'm going to be using the truck mostly for driving on the road. I like the all black with billets look. Any one know how much a paint job/lift/tires/wheels would run me and what brands are better.

Thanks

First off, thanks for serving, we might not even be able to have this discussion without you guys. Second I'd do the cold air intake first, then the exhaust, followed by a 2" leveling kit (that's my plan for my new truck anyway) With the look that the leveling kit gives the truck (not to mention more room for bigger tires) and the improved sound, HP, torque, and gas millage you'll be well on your way to having the agressive look you want but still have a nice ride on road. Good Luck with it

If i had a new truck and the money i would get a 4" kit Super Swamper SSR's new wheels, re-gear, paint, billet grille, bull/push bar with lights, and smoke the tail lights with some HID's in the front. thats the direction i would go but thats me.

does the leveling kit effect gas millage at all? like wind resistance or something?

I'd do the 4" lift too. But like wxmcpo said, once you go big you always want to go bigger.

No. But if it does/did it's not going to be big enough for you to notice.

Big is good, that's definitely what i'm going for. but why only 4"? I was thinkin 6-8" with a leveling kit... would that look stupid with 36/37" tires on a F150?
