I just picked up my 2011 FX4 SCREW 5.0 with 6.5 ft bed. I am getting ready to do my first mod and can't decide which one to do first. I am on a budget so I can't do both at once. Which one would you do first and why. Cat back exhaust system or a front end level kit.

Thanks

I'd get the level kit. That way u can put some bigger tires on AND it makes the truck look 10x better IMO. An aftermarket exhaust sounds awesome, but the stock exhaust sounds pretty good too once u break it in.

I'd do the exhaust first. I'd wait until you can afford tiires and do the leveling kit and tires at the same time. A leveling kit without bigger tires doesn't look very good.

i would go for the exhaust first fore sure. IMO the leveling kit is a waste of money unless you are actually going to go off road with your truck but even still your only putting spacers in the front to bring it up so basically all your doing is allowing yourself to put bigger tires on. Exhaust definatley!

Fx4 sits pretty nice as is. But it depends what your trying to accomplish first. I'd go for exhaust.

Exhaust...unless you have money in the budget for bigger tires.

Exhaust forsure!

Leveling kit is less expensive than an exhaust. It's not necessarily correct that you'll need bigger tires. I've got a 2" level kit with the factory 20" inch wheel/tire. I think it looks fine IMO. Don't get me wrong I want to get some new tires not because it looks bad but there is a better tire out there for sure. I'm also in the market for an cat back system. I bought my level kit for $85 and the exhaust I'm looking at is $540 so you do the math.

Level kit here as well and I have the factory 20's (ok in my opinion). Would like bigger wheels but I don't want to crush my mpg.
My FX4 post the 2" level just feels more like a truck with it being higher as opposed to driving the wife's minivan (pre level).
Find a truck with a level or exhaust done so you can experience them and you'll know what's right for your $$$$.
Congrats on the truck!
