Gotta spend some money, but on what???

The wife is going to be giving me $300 for xmas and I can't figure out what to get. I've got an 07 FX4 that is bone stock expect for some nerf bars and linex in the bed. I don't want a leveling kit until I need new tires. What would you get???

Either a used Edge programmer or a cold air intake. Take your pick!

I was thinking possibly an exhaust but for $300 I can't find a decent catback and I don't really want to weld in a muffler just to change it out in a couple of years. The floormats would be nice since I work in rock quarries a lot. Any good places other than ebay to find an edge programmer?

Already got that one on my watch list. I just hope the bidding stays low on it.

Id get a leveling kit and something else.

I have a leveling kit on my truck with the stock tires and they dont look bad at all.

You will have to get it aligned though.

If I still dont have you convinced on the leveling kit, then I would say that the floormats would be a good thing. I work where I pick up a lot of debris on my boots too and it really sucks getting into the truck with all of that. I dont even like the idea of getting the gas pedal muddy. It just seems to get everywhere somehow.

Add-a-leaf kit, or helper springs, head unit, air intake, tint or save it for the rims and tires.

If it don't make it go faster or stop faster then don't bother. Go for a tuner or CAI or exhaust.

Forgot to mention that I already have the windows tinted. One of the first things I did with the Texas heat. I guess I'll have to do some searching for pics of a leveling kit with the stock tires.

Catback or Cai or Bilstein shocks but they are a little more money.

I couldn't find a decent catback for the 300, am I looking in the wrong spot? And I've heard with the CAI you have to have a tuner to avoid going lean?
