Default Mods planned for my truck

Looking to modify the hell out of my F-150. I have some ideas for it but as I am quite fresh to owning a truck I am not entirely sure on what to get. So far i have this in mind:

Leveling kit
Exhaust
Duratrac tires
Maybe a lift kit in the future?

Anyone have any good suggestions on what to get or add onto this list? What would be a good source for auto part reviews?

Level with 33's look good. Other mods you might like: ( and relatively cheap for most)

1) stubby antenna from craven speed
2) lower billet grill from Smitty built
3) flip key replacement (if you have the key and remote seperate)
4) polyfill subwoofer (if you have one)
5) USB 2 mod
6) HID Retrofit
7) tint front windows
8) weather tech floor mats (although not really a mod)
9) Dee Zee easy down tailgate assist
10) tune/exhaust/CAI (or just supercharge it!)

Hope that helps

Lets see this truck you got! Cabrawler has some good ideas, I'd personally do all of those if I had a newer truck. Stubby antennas are great, mine flies back in the wind haha

What kind of areas are you looking to work with?
Audio
Appearance
Features
Lights
etc etc.

yeah, superchargers are pretty pricy, and in the end, you've gotta always put premium fuel in it. i've got a 36 gallon tank, which is 140L in canada. and when gas is $1.30 a Liter... that adds up quick. expecially when i've got so many highway miles.

as for mods, i'd like to know what options does the truck have?

myself, i'm planning on small mods first, then slowly get better with it. i'd rather do the cheap ones first, because if i sell the truck, i won't have that much put into it.

USB2, dual exhust, CAI, HD900/5 with clean sweep (to maintain stock HU), different tires, light bar(under hood), RAM AIR hood, and Ghost flames, tint. puddle and signal lights in mirrors with nightshades.

i don't care for a better 0-60 times or HP... i prefer longitivity rather than a short lifespan on a truck's driveline.

i guess i'm one of those guys who would rather have stuff done to the truck that isn't noticable to the average joe, but to someone who takes appreciation in f150's, it would stand out. for instance, i've got a XTR package, so it's got two toned interior and chrome. personally, i'm not a fan of chrome... but i keep thinking of cow catcher bumpers, with a 4inch lift, and offset tires. i wouldn't throw on 20's or higher. i find 18's to be plenty of coin to the tire techs... if i wanted 22's, then it would be Z rated for summer, and the 18's for winter.

another mod i plan, my truck doesn't have a rear power window, dealership is 900 installed.

btw, congrats on the new rig. i'm new to ford myself.
