If I had 2k to spend, I would get remote start, Line-X, a Low Pro and a tuner. The left over would go for a payment.

I'm loving all of the ideas. If I decided to go with level and tires what brand level and tires should I get. I have heard great things about Autospring for the level and tires not sure. Nitto Terra's, Toyo MT, Baja ATZ, or stick with an AT like a Terra Grappler.

I just got rid of my tires at 3k miles. I got a rough country level and nitto trail grapplers. Couldnt be happier. And I agree with you on the tuner. I want one pretty bad but it just isnt worth loosing my warranty yet should something possibly even unrelated happen.

RES4CUE, Do you have a link for those speakers on Amazon?

Also, you missed your chance to recommend the 1aAuto mirrors! Mine are sposed to be here today! Waiting on the brown truck.

Your audio is a little high also, you can get 4 nice speakers (4x8/5x7) for around $150 through amazon.

Have you thought about a programmer and custom tunes?

Thanks again for all the responses. I hope to make a decision next week and start ordering what I need.
If you are planning on a lift you should scrap the tire and level idea for now. Get some more use out of the stock tires. Get your seat covers and maybe a bit of a speaker upgrade then save the rest of the $2000 until you have enough to get the level, wheels, and tires you want. I have the ProComp xtreme AT, which I think is quite similar functionally to the Nitto Trail Grappler. I prefer an AT to an MT, but I live in a desert where I am more likely to be fighting rocks than mud when off-road.

Lmao, true!

1Aauto.com has OEM looking tow mirrors if you want to add tow mirrors! Cheaper than OEM and great service!

You will like them, I love mine still after all these months and I have yet to use them with a trailer. Lol

Auto start is a nice feature also. I went aftermarket with that and got a viper. I have a 2010 so either factory or aftermarket both had to be wired and wasn't PnP so I went with viper and got a nice system and had a reputable stereo shop install.

Here is the link, I bought two sets and ran them off the stock HU for a while then upgraded my HU. They were a nice upgrade from the stock speakers then when I hit them with more wattage they really shine.

seat covers for sure!! not sure where you are from but you may want to add heated seats when you are doing the covers as I did... only 75 bucks off of ebay will do both top and bottom for two seats... I would do the sound system if you are spending a lot of time in your truck,,, if not I would go for the options you would get the most benefits from,,,, the seat covers are great and more comfortable IMO and look great so I enjoy them everyday,,, that is how I would look at your upgrades and mods.... do what you are lacking the most in your opinion and save for the next best....

Ok guys thanks for all the ideas and I think I know what I'm going to do first. I will be getting HID's and mirror covers and some Seat Covers. I will then do some Plasti Dipping on some of the parts to pull it all together with some overlays. I would love a lift and tires but I need to use the tires I have on it for a little bit longer so I can use the I need new tires so while I'm at it lets get a lift and wheels to go with it... I photochopped kind of what I want to do. Let me know your thoughts.

List of Future Mods:
Black Out C's on 2013 Grill
Red Ford Overlays
Black and Red F150 Emblems
Remove Ecoboost emblem (Possibly Replace with Turbocharged Emblem)
2013 HID Head Lights
Race Red Mirror Caps







Blacked out Tailgate with Chrome Accents
Custom 4X4 Sticker (Razorback Edition)
