Default Where to start the mod's....

Picked up my 2006 FX4 a few months ago and it's been naked long enough.
I have a lot of ideas and would like some honest opinions.
I was thinking about:
Grill.
Black bull bar.
Painted flares.
Leveling it out or lift? I only have 3 1/2" of clearance left to get it in the garage.
20"s or should I stick with 18"s?
Intake kit.
Double din w/nav & bluetooth. 2 - 10" subs to.
Exhaust - Flowmaster 40 with cat back duals and black chrome 4" tips.

What about it?????????

Sounds good!!
On your grill..any ideas. Bull bar or wrap around griil and light buard??

As for the lift vs level I feel you. I cant hardly park anywhere here in vegas and all I did was level.

18 vs 20's.....if you plan to off road, stay 18 you'll have better performance. When your going for that BIG mean look, 17 & 18 rim size allow for a meaner tire.

Intake....HELL YEAH..tons to pick from.

Exhaust....yup..I am running the Super 40 Delta Flowmaster and love the sound. Performance is ok, but could be better.

I have not gotten to my stereo yet, so no advice for you there.

Whew....my long .02 cents for ya..

sounds like you got quite the plan there, but have you looked into a tuner and custom tunes at all?

Also, you will be loosing your front tow hooks with a bull bar, just something to think about.

Finally, I wouldjust go with a nice 2.5 leveling kit, as it gives you more clearance to run bigger rims/tires if you want to, and you will still be able to get it in the garage.

I also have the 40 series Flows and I love them. Not too loud in the cab but loud enough during acceleration!!

I have an in-dash but I'm ready to get rid of it because I've got my eye on a bluetooth Pioneer headunit. I don't really ever use the tv/dvd as much as I thought I would.

Add tint to that list and you'll be set.
