Help me mod my truck

Im looking for some ideas on how to make the outside look a little better. I took the running boards off. Someone told me to get FX4 fender flares. I was looking for ideas on grilles and wheels. I have newer tires (maybe 2 months old) on 17 inch rims so if i bought new rims they would have to be 17 inch wheels.

First things first, get a true dual exhaust with long tube headers. After that get a Roush grille and fender flares, then a programmer, then a cold air intake, then rear end gears, then a supercharger, and then a nitrous kit. That's all I got as of right now!

he has the 4.2 or 4.6 like us=no supercharger
he has 4x4 so he would need front/rear gears

punisher, when/if you get long tubes let me know how much they helped

I always forget about those damn front differentials, SOB's. I'm sure he could mount an 04 Mustang GT blower seeing as it's nearly the same motor. He could be the guinea pig!

It's going to be a while til I get those LT's man, I've got to get enough money for the entire exhaust parts and such. Could be a few months unless I can find a small part time job after my semesters over.

I think if you got some deep dish 17" alloys from a company like eagle or mickeythompson that would really set the truck off. Best part is they make real quality wheels for cheap. And a nice exhaust setup, and maybe a 2.5 inch leveling kit

Just for the record, i have the bilstien leveling shocks, K&N CAI, Edge Evolution, Maganflow cat back, and new tires. Im mainly looking for stuff to make my truck look better. The only thing else im going to do to the truck performance wise is Edge to Gryphon and new gears.

Mods in sig

i think the new pics might be deceiving because the truck is facing down hill.
