Usually, from past experience it seems like you only get around 15% of the money spent on mods back if you sell them with the vehicle if you are lucky. Most of the time you get nothing for them. However, selling them separately you can get 60-70 percent back for them. Sometimes you will find the right buyer that wants the vehicle as is and they will pay what you want. They are VERY few and far between though. I would sell it outright if possible. Trade in is horrible for these trucks with all of the rebates and promotions on the new stuff. I tried trading in my 06' F-150 supercab, XLT, 4x4, 5.4, 6k miles, loaded. The best offer I got was $20k. That is a little over a $14k msrp loss for having the truck 6 months. I also have an additional $2700 in aftermarket parts on it as well... My lease is up in 08', and the purchase price at that time is $21k. I like my truck, but if I can sell it or have someone take over the lease... I was offered a package deal on a car and truck that I am going to get..Good luck with whatever you do!
Your truck looks like it is in excellent condition, so you should get top dollar for it!
