Hey guys, I've posted a couple times but I've never actually introduced myself. I have a 2005 lariat edition, I bought it around a year ago and have done mostly everything to it. There's of course a few more things I'm interested in doing, like colornorph headlights, some new wheels and maybe a leveling kit to level the front out and sit even with the back. Tell me what you guys think and what I should do! I'd greatly appreciate your feedback!

Nice looking truck. In my opinion the first thing you should get those front windows tinted. You will get lots of suggestions and great ideas on here.

20% is usually a pretty close match to the rear factory.

And make sure you go with a good tint like 3M. Some of the other stuff will turn green after a while.

I like the look summers, your truck looks great! I'm also really wanting to level out the truck but I'm not quite sure what the guy before me had done to the suspension, I know it has rear airbags and it's sitting on 33's.. Any thoughts?

Nice truck. I'd PTM the bumpers or lose the FX4 decals so it looks like one or the other.

How long have you had the truck? Did it come with the textured upper bumper in the front? That texted bumper is an XL feature and the PTM fender flares are a lariat fewture.

Ive had it for 2 years now and it came with that bumper, I've always wondered why it has that front bumper. Got any ideas lol? And also I'd like to take the FX4 decals off but I think it'll be faded underneath it.
