Default New guy from IL

Hello all. Name is Sam and im an industrial mechanic from Kankakee IL. I just bought myself a 2006 F150 super cab FX4. So far im loving it. im not new to forums and im not new to wrenching. Most of my time is spent wrenching on the Jeep.
With that said, i also and not the best at keeping things stock and may need some ideas and advice

this is the truck

now its nice but its stock. im more of an aggressive looking vehicle kinda guy. i am not, however, looking for an offroad truck and would like it to still ride smooth. this is my daily driving vehicle and will have plenty of highway and city street road time. also, it will likely be hauling the jeep around at some point.


no need for an offroad truck as i said, ive spent time in that department.
here is my jeep

so in my head i have a couple ideas for this truck like dual pipes and a new muffler, dont want it to be to loud cuz ill be driving it. i do however, want it to sound like a truck. maybe a 2 or 3 in lift, something that makes it still a simple street truck that looks tough. either 33s or 35s but id like to go with a bigger wheel 18 or 20s.

i know everything there is to know about my Jeep but not much about these. figured since this is a 10year old truck there has got to be some "been there done that" people that could help me out.

anyways, Hi!
