What to do, what to do?!

I just put a level kit and 285s on my truck, I have dual exhaust, 10k hi's and lo's, an upgraded grille, cb/pa, and a led tailgate bar. My question is what are some of yalls suggestions on what to next? Some smaller things that might improve the look some more, I know aftermarket wheels are comin soon possibly for x-mas. So just some ideas on smaller projects or purchases i could make would be appreciated!

Agree with removing the steps. Looks good so far though.

hmmmmm body lift is a possibility, i hate the gaps they leave though. I know theres the guards, but idk did you like yours when it was on? and ill try toying with taking the steps off and seeing how it looks. Thanks for the suggestions yall, keep em coming! ideas are churning here haha offroad lights behind the grille possibly

i have a BL on this truck too. i would leave the steps on, they hide the frame better if you get a BL.

I hear that, I'm all for top quality lol. But I'll have to wait and see. I might save the money for aftermarket wheels and do the body lift at the beginning of the year.
