Thanks! All of that is in the plan. Not sure on the leveling kit yet. I'll probably keep it simple and cheap to begin with and go with the 2" RC. The long term plan is the Ford Performance Fox shocks kit. Everything is kind of up in the air right now though with the Covid-19 stuff going on work is kinda iffy.

You might want a liner kit for the rear. I just installed a Ford kit that I purchased through Amazon. It was actually a true Ford kit and not aftermarket. Went on pretty easy with only the need for a 7mm socket. Should have been standard from the factory.

Definitely agree I need to do something. I've toyed around with the idea of line-x in the wheel well.

personally no,I went with a flow master American thunder which was perfect for me... until I had a baby... lol. I added a vibrant ultra quiet resonator to it and it brought it down to acceptable,but man do I miss the old roar!
here’s a clip of the same exhaust as mine,but without a resonator.
there’s a bunch of clips of different exhausts if you haven’t heard any of them yet.

I've got a lot planned for this truck but gotta be patient on most of it. (happy wife, happy life) First things I plan to do are tint the front windows, and add a leveling kit.

Did you get the 5.0? If so how are you liking the 10 speed it’s paired to coming from a Ram?

I was in a 2500 Cummins with 35’s. I don’t think there really is a comparison. The 10 speed is definitely different and still taking some getting used to and I’ve been babying it for the most part so far.

I have it on my 2015.... over 4 seasons of winter and its held up very well. Sound is awesome, very deep with no drone under regular driving... full throttle it sounds really good with a hint of raspiness
