Help me pick my mods

I haven't done any mods to the truck in awhile so I'm getting the itch, just not sure what route to go. So I come here for suggestions, only thing I know I don't want is a lift kit. So shoot me some ideas, opinions, or whatever suggestions you want!

Well it looks like he's already got the leveling kit covered. I'd have to agree with PawPaw, some sort of step bars so you dont wear out the seats from getting in and out of it... Or possibly some aftermarket heads and tails... Maybe retrofit some LEDS?

I think the Harley grille with PTM surround and the black FX/Raptor/HD headlights and tail lights would look good.

PTM all the chrome parts or maybe some new wheels? Both will change the look of the truck by a good amount.

Ive got step bars a;lready, just not fond of how they look. Plan on doing the retrofit or HIDs here soon. Ive wanted to do the Harley or black heads/tails just not sure how it would look.

My thoughts, exactly!

She's a beaut already, but you'd be surprised how much difference a PTM grille and FX4 tails with a nice retrofit will make. IMO, the 6-bar grille will look better PTM than the Lariat grille.

I second the thoughts about adding steps, but maybe go for Raptor steps? N-Fabs? How about wheels? Do you like a blacked-out look or chrome? I do like those factory rims. Maybe experiment with some plastidip accents (like the middle of the spokes)?

How about a programmer/tuner? Hear tell 5 star and MPT do a great job tunin' the 5.fers.

Your truck looks awesome how it is man! But like others have said, maybe heads/tails/grill. If you decide to do wheels do your homework first and make sure you find something that will make the truck look better than it already does! Clean clean truck man!

I like the clean look as is. Two-tones are harder to do when mixing aftermarket parts, but one thing that would look good is knocking down the grille chrome some with a PTM grille surround since you already have painted bumpers. After that, maybe some nice chrome wheels to replace the stockers with a tad less positive offset and give your truck a little more aggressive stance but not too much. Again, nice looking truck!

Just going over possible options for you in my head here....

Since your truck is a 2-tone, wonder what it would look like with the surround black and the 6-bar center adobe (tan)?

Oh yeah...something tells me it would look a-freakin-mazing!

Do it!

PTM the entire chrome grille or just the outside surround? Bc it is all one piece, wasn't sure if you could do just the outside of it?
