Default 06 stx

I bought the truck in November 2013. Finally got the style of f150 I've been wanting for quite some time. I'm in school and still young so it's not quite the dream truck I'd like but it's still my baby. 2006 STX 4x4 with all rubber flooring crank windows etc. Pretty much the most basic style STX package out there but I'm starting to like that about it. Traded my 06 cobalt SS in for it so big difference there. I'll post some pics of when I got it so at it's stock stage.

So far I've done the following:
Halo headlights (still stock bulbs)
JVC touch screen head unit
Kicker 6x8s
Weather tech floor matts
Tinted tail light covers
Borla dual cat back exhaust

Still need to do:
18" moto metals
33" nitto trail grapplers
2 1/5 or 3" leveling kit (any thoughts on which is better or provides better ride?)
Led head lights
Tinted windows
Bug deflector/ vent shades
New grill (any suggestions? Leaning towards the saleen as of now)

Being a college student it's been a slower process than I would have liked but I plan on buying the tires and wheels in a couple of weeks or so.

Any suggestions as to some wheels you think would look nice or any particular leveling kit please comment I would love any input. Also, feel free to post a pic if you have a similar truck with aftermarket tires/wheels with a similar setup I would like to see for future reference.

Thanks for checkin out my project, hope you enjoy!

Rear view with tinted tail lights and the Borla duel exhaust. Got new used off Craigslist which saved a ton of money and I love the new sound !

Yeah it's a 4.6 and it sounds much better. Not too loud and a nice mean tone. I like it a lot. Was pretty easy to install also. The left tip flares out a little I need to take it off and get a pipe bender on it tho
