After a decade of driving old beat up rangers, I finally bought my first brand new truck. 2014 STX V8 5.0 4x4



My plans are:
-Windows tinted
-Black wheels
-Lift/level
-Intake and straight pipe exhaust to help improve gas mileage.
-Headlights and taillights

Anybody have reccomendations of what exactly I should get and what kind of prices I should look for?

a popular swap is the FX4 tails and headlights...they have a smoked appearance

I'm a fan of oem wheels. I would consider 33's and wheel spacers if your doing a 3 in lift. My .02.

"Intake and straight pipe exhaust to help improve gas mileage" has got to be one of the greatest things I have read in a while. By no means do I mean to mock because I too have a straight pipe set up. However you will gain the sqare root of squat in terms of fuel economy that way without the aid of a tuner of any form or fashion. I prefer SCT and I'm sure most other guys on here will double that. As far as wheels and tires go.... keep those stockers and wrap em up in a good looking A/T or M/T in a 33". Do a level as well. The choices on those are endless but I am partial to Rancho. Look into repalcing your rear shocls as well, anything over stock will help with ride quality plus I have seen a few examples of stock shocks failing. Good luck with the build and keep us posted.
