Hello everyone! Been reading the forums for a while now but first time posting.

I'm starting to save for mods for my 04 4x4 F150. I was hoping you guys could throw me some budget friendly suggestions on some different mods.

I want to start with a 3in body lift and a level kit (don't know how much I need here, will post pictures later). Then move on to tires. With the 3in, I could go with 31-33s correct? I plan on using my stock rims, which I painted black, for now. Possibly considering dual exhaust as well.

Where should I look for these? I'm not going to be cheap but I also dont have tons to throw around at a time.

Thanks for the future help.

 

I'm not a fan of body lifts on 04-08s, but a leveling kit is cheap! If you know how to install it its even cheaper. Check out hell bent steel or autospring, usually less than $70! I went with a 2.5" hbs leveling kit on my 05. As for tire sizes, these trucks usually came with 31/32s. With a leveling kit you can do 33s and some have even done 35s with trimming.
As for an exhaust, get stainless steel not aluminized because stainless will last way longer! I'm going with a flowmaster kit (part number 817417).
There are many threads regarding all questions you had, so for more information just search around through the forum, its a great help!
