This is what I'm thinking of doing, in order, so let me know what y'all think:

1. Heartthrob exhaust. I've found a few clips and it doesn't loud, but has a nice low tone. I'm looking at the 3", I don't know if and how much difference the 4" would make.

2. SCT X4 or Edge CTS2. I'm super green with tuners, had no clue about them before and still dont! I like the look of the edge, but I've heard the x4 is more flexible.

3. Autosprings 3" front level/2" rear block. I liked the 3" level on my 05. I'd like a lil lift, but nothing crazy. I've never had rear blocks, so I'm not sure. I plan on keeping the stock 20" black rims, which leads me to:

4. Toyo Open Country R/T 305/55r20. I know they're new but the couple reviews I saw were good. I don't off-road much, but I'd prefer to have the aggressive look and have the option. I do take the kids out to play in the mud on the rare occasion it rains here, and were trying to make more trips to the mountain when it snows. Other looks go to toyo at and nitto terra grapplers

5. Spray in bedliner. Self explanatory...

6. aFe Stage 2 CAI. Lots of good reviews on it, but not really sure it's necessary.

So what are your thoughts on this? It'll probably take a few months to get everything done, but I'm looking for honest opinions on both the products and the steps. I know it's pretty much dead, but if there's anything that can be done with the factory nav, thatd be awesome! I have no clue if it's the sync or MFT, I've seen conflicting reports. 8" screen, sync logos, touchscreen with nav and backup cam. Already did the USB2 mod, but couldn't get my 120gb ssd to work so I just have a 64gb usb thumb drive. I've upgraded all lighting to HID/LED as well.

Thank you for your help!

2. My local dealer does spray in bedliner for $4-500. For some reason I was expecting closer to $1500

3. Level kit. Sounds like I could just go with a 2" level and still fit the tires I want. Thinking about bilstein 5100 again, had them in my 08. Was a bit stiffer, but worked well. Thoughts?

4. 305/55r20 Toyo Open Country RT. Gotta call my guy at discount tire and see what he can do. He can get terra grapplers for a little over $1300 mounted and balanced with warranty.

5. Local muffler shop suggested a flowmaster super 40 with resonator delete for under $200. Or stick with heartthrob 3" catback and do it myself for $240.

6. CAI or just put a K&N drop in.

Again, thank you for your tips and advice!
