I just posted this in the members builds but given its just my plans and I'm not really doing it all right away, I figured it'd be better here. Gonna try to figure out how to remove the other one
I'm driving a 2011 5.0 FX4 that I plan to do some work on. I'm not going to put a crazy amount of money into this truck given I am only working a summer job and will be a freshman in college next year but I do hope to get some done to it.
The only things I've done is remove the stock FX4 decals and put some duck hunting FX4 decals and install a 2.5" ready lift level.
Here is what I have planned:
1) Tires- trying to decide between Mickey Thompson MTZ or Nitto trail grappler MTs (haven't come up with a size yet either)
2) Wheels- looking at black rhino sidewinders
3) Painted ford emblems and badges to match the paint
4) Bull bar or ADD front bumper (unsure how the ADD bumper would look without a lift)
5) CAI
6) Deeper exhaust
7) New HID headlights (not in any rush on this one)
8- Window tint
I'm sure I'm leaving something off, if I think of anything else I'll add it to the list!
Any other suggestions from y'all would be great!!

What kind of CAI were you thinking of? I know that it's a mixed review but personally I would hold out. I didn't notice really any change in performance/MPG and had a slight whistle that drove me nuts after about 3 weeks. I'm in college too and I know what it's like trying to save a buck where possible and that is something you can save on IMO.

But if it doesn't help much there I could definitely pass on it

ADD is shipping my bumpers in one week. If y'all have some patience I'm gonna shoot some pics of my truck when I get them on and my truck is NOT lifted. (Soon to be though) lol they are venom front and rear in satin black with gloss black stealth panels.
