help me make it a head turner

alright i just sold my 97 with a 4.6 with 235000 on it(n still running strong!) and i bought me an 02 with the 5.4 its the fx4 lariat its black with the tan on the rockers n fenders. right now my plan is to level it n run 285s on 17s. me n my buddy are taking that plastic skirt off the bumper n putting a dimond plate skid plate on n im gonna put a prerunner bar. What else can i do to make this truck stand out? im not lookin to drop alot of money i just wanna make it a little meaner. im just lookin for ideas here me n my buddies have alot of ideas im just lookin for other input befoe i jump in and get started. THanks

deffinately go high, big trucks are head turners 4-6" lift would make a nice difference, maybe a tint and some nice rims. Possibilities are endless, good luck!
