Default To lift or not to lift? After market Exhaust system or no? Lightbars? IDK you tell me

I have a 1994 f150 XL with a 300 I6. It is in cherry condition mechanically and I was starting to look into after market stuff to get me setup to make it the perfect hunting/ off roading truck. There is so much to do and I dont really know where to start. I am a highschool student that is very tight on money and I would be doing all the work myself with my dad. Give me some cost-effective ideas for a good hunting/ off roading rig. Lights, lift, tires, idk go nuts. haha
Thanks a bunch

How big do you want to go and how much money? Is it your daily driver? Where are you located/what kind of offroading/snow are you going to see.

Read through: http://www.fullsizebronco.com/forum/...ad.php?t=17022

You may want to consider a bodylift with that budget.

3 inch body lift with front end leveling kit will fit up to 35s and looks great

150 for 1.5" leveling coils doesn't sound as good as 150 for 2"coil spacers and 2"blocks for the rear.
