Question What Mod's first for my Truck? Opinions?

Ok guys need some opinions from all of you. I have an 07 Black FX4 Screw ( going for the Blackout Look) and already added 305/55/20 Duratracs. Now im starting on my list of Mod's that i want to do. you will find the list below, what order do you think I should tackle them?
  • Edge Programer
  • Bilstein Leveling Shocks
  • Troyer Underdrive Pullys
  • Exhaust ( Custom or Magnaflow box set)
  • Black Bull Bar with Hella off road lights
  • CAI
  • HID upgrade with new projector lights - 6000 or 8000?
  • Powdercoat Factory 20's Black
Just trying to gauge what I should do first...Id love to do them all at once but im looking at 2 mods a month. Getting ready for summer!

First off, nice mod list. Second, I would change the Edge Programmer to a Gryphon Programmer. Edge's use canned tunes, which means adding a CAI, exhaust, and Underdrive Pully's can not be optimized by this programmer. The guys at Power Hungry Performance have been unleashing power in the Fords for a long time. Go with a gryphon. As far as the mods go, either start with aesthetics or start with performance. Here's my order since I like my truck lookin different then others before I added power:
1. Bullbar w/ Hella + HID Uprgrade (Lights taken care of)(maybe get some tails too?)
2. Powder coat rims + Bilstein shocks (ready for new tires then if you want)
3. Order your Gryphon, and while you're waiting for it to come in, get the other performance mods so when it does arrive (bout 2 wks later) everything will be there and you'll have a new truck.

You could always just reverse this order and do power before beauty. Good luck and post the pics as you go!

Love them...They are great, aggressive looking (almost MT) but great on the highway and snow. Haven't had a chance to get them in the mub yet but thats coming up. I'll post full pics of the truck after the tires were put on as soon as i can. They really changed the look and stance of the truck, much better looking now.
