Default Leveling kit

I have a 2003 F150 5.4 v8
I'm just starting to do some work to it now that we've hit 105k miles
So I decided instead of just working on my engine, I'll make her look nicer on the outside too, so just a few questions

Is there a leveling kit that lowers the rear to level the truck, instead of raising the front?

(I know this is a cliche question) I'm looking for better sound... so shortie or long tube headers?

What performance air intake do yall prefer?
How is a Throttle body spacer?

Well, thats it for now, Thanks to all.

why wouldnt you want to raise the front to match the rear...it would be so much easier and you can do it for free...just crank your torsion bars up

Well if its not 4X4 i don't think there are torsion bars. Even then, i spend $40 and a evening and put a leveling kit on mine, really easy to do, no cutting, fitting anything. Just unbolt all the stuff in the front suspension, slide in the spacer, re bolt and your good to go. Lowering i think is more involved. But, if thats what your looking for, the lowered look, then obviously your just gonna have to deal with the extra work. It shouldn't be that hard regardless
