Default birthday gift to myself

Hey guys and few gals. Friday is my birthday and I'll be turning the big 25 lol. I've decided I wanna buy myself something aka something for the truck. Max I wanna spend is about 300 bucks. Any suggestions on what you guys would buy. I'm between getting a level and rear block, the led pods that David got for his platinum, the emblems paint to match all done, the custom embroidered headrests and center console lid, fusion fog lights, gloss black vinyl for the tailgate like the platinums are. I'm sure I'm forgetting stuff but what would you guys do? Any and all recommendations are helpful
Thanks brett

I still want a Lil rake since I use my truck for work sometimes and I tow sometimes
Are the rears adjustable too? (Stupid question probably)

Aren't the 2.5 really bad for the cv axles especially if ya do mild offroading? I'm not exactly exactly a street queen lol

I don't see why so many companies would sell them if that was the case. I know several guys running 2.5''s on 02-14's and they've never had any problems.

In for ideas. Birthday next friday with similar budget.

I'd pick up a level off ebay, some LED interior lights if you don't have any and the paint to match emblems.

I'm like stupid when it comes to a tuner haha I would like to get one cause I'll need it especially when I do get the lift and bigger tires but that'll take at least another 6 months
