Default First mod???

So I've had my F-150 for 3 days and I already have the mod bug. What should I do first?

I can't decide between a leveling kit, exhaust, and a chip

Gotts mod with a K&N drop in air filter is cheap and fast. I did my exhaust first though, it really made my truck sound sweet.

I was fortunate that I purchased mine with exhaust and intake (also 3 days ago), but If I didn't have any mods..I would go with the leveling kit. Your gonna enjoy driving it for a while...so I would improve the looks first.

Wash, wax, flush the tranny, change the oil and filters.
Find out what ya got first. Good advice I read on another thread.
I would do all that first, and if everything is good, gotts mod. $7. Can't go wrong. Then maybe exhaust.
Have fun!!!!!!!!!!!

If you level it first...then you will want bigger tires and maybe new rims...why chip it with out bigger tires or a CAI and exhaust...so I say put a nice exhaust on it first.
