Leveling kit always "picks up" the appearance in my opinion... Could go with some aftermarket headlights or the blackout limited headlights... Could get a bull bar or brush guard... Maybe a new head unit for the interior... As an aside right now I'm purchasing one of those hood protector bug shield things from weather tech which looks like a pretty cool "mod" to the truck

I didnt really notice a difference in power til I had intake headers and cat back together. As for suspension I did the rancho leveling kit and Im mostly happy with it, but Im starting to want to go to an OEM mechanical leveling next time around.

Depends what look you are going for....more luxury, offroad/adventure, touring?

again...what direction are you looking to take the truck...that would help with suggestions...if u don't plan on lifting then those suggestions wont need to be given...if u do plan to lift then we don't need to worry about telling u to do stuff that street king truck would benefit from...

I did this to my wheels, emblems, and grill. I LOVE plastidip in that its 100% reversible. Also protects which is a nice bonus. OP if you plan on doing this then plan on at least 1 can per 17in wheel ( I used 1.5+ cans per wheel), 1 can can do all emblems and at least 1 for the grill. As for the handles I sadly have to report that the torquing when opening your door peels back plastidip, but I may make another pass at them in a month when spring arrives.
