Default Where to start with Mods??

Okay, I have all these ideas that I want to do. But not sure where to start. I would like to start Modding towards the end of August, early September. I'm thinking lift wheels and Tires. (Not sure whether to level out and go 33s or 35s, or to go full suspension?) Programmer, Air Intake, Exhaust, maybe upgrade Headlight bulbs..
I guess I'm wanting to know where you all started, and go from there. I can wait on lift and all because when I bought my truck, they threw brand new tires on it.

I have a 2011 F150 King Ranch Ecoboost, with the Golden Bronze and Adobe two-tone. I'm thinking Chrome accessories would look better than black. Like tool box, bull bar, wheels and all..

I do not have mudflaps. I have tinted the front two windows. Have to go somewhere else to get the front strip done. Also I have plastidipped the rear wheel wells.. I have tan husky weather beaters, and chrome factory steps I just picked up.

I started with tint all 5 I have the stx so no factory tint, did HIDs in my fogs and heads aimed a little lower so no blinding other drivers, followed up with some in channel vents and weather tech digitals... The cheap mods put on some fx4 tails for $100 plasti dipped the rims 1 hour and $30 and used some VHT night shades and tints my 3rd brake light $8

Get mud flaps before winter or off road use.

Congrats on the truck.
  • A 2x8 bed divider is a must in my opinion and only costs a few bucks.
  • Stubby antenna instead of that flag pole they mount stock is also a nice upgrade.
  • Electronic tailgate lock actuator
I found most of my ideas off the below form Best Modifications under $50 you can find some really nice ideas without breaking the bank.

Good luck and have fun!

Removal all badges and decals you don't want, paint the ones you keep, tint or replace(upgrade) headlights/tail lights. Get a new grille or mod the one you have. Then do the real stuff, level or lift kit with new wheels and tires, get some bed liner, a sound system
