Default What would you do?

Hello all, I am new to the forum, and have a 2004 F150 XLT 4x4, the only thing i have done to it so far is small things... I have removed the stock muffler off of the truck and put a piece of 2 1/2'' straight pipe in its place. I am trying to think of things to do to the truck to make it look, and possibly sound better. I am thinking about doing a 2.5'' leveling kit and putting 285/70/17s under it, and am not sure if i want to put aftermarket wheels under it or not, and if i do what kind to put under it would be the next choice. I am planning on running dual 3 inch pipes on the truck coming out both bed corners of the truck. Was also considering rhino lining the bottom panel sections of the truck as well. I figured i would post a picture or two of the truck on here and see what yall would do if it was in your hands.

Thanks!
-Ted

I would think an aftermarket exhaust sysytem would be a better choise. Your truck got louder but there is no benefits, performance, fuel mileage etc...

Here's my truck leveled with 285/70/17 just to help you get the picture a-little better. And with the mbrp cat back 2.5inch pipe and 3inch tips

I too was considering an aftermarket exhaust when i do go to get it done, just not sure what brand to go with, was thinking about the 40 series flowmaster. Id like something that has a good tone to it, something thats loud, but not obnoxious and that sounds bad.. And thanks for the pics of your truck, i do like the way they sit with being leveled and 285s on them. Is your leveling kit a 2.5? and did you do the add a leaf or just the leveling kit by itself? Thanks for the advice and tips so far!! I appreciate the quick responses

Not sure was on the truck when I brought it from the dealer. I just measured it and is seems to be 2inch. Measured from the top of the rim to bottom of the fender and front is 15inch and rear is 15 and a half inch and I'm thinking 2. Now that I know it's nose diving i might get the 2.5
