They do. I've found it before and strongly considered it but I've got a few mods that have to be done prior to something like that. I'm still running the stamped steel stockers in the winter and I just can't stand it. I've also got to replace my rear bumper before I consider any other mods. Someday a custom tune, some aux lighting, HIDs, and a re-gear. I've been thinking of mounting two lights behind the grille but haven't really looked into it a whole lot. Just kind of been bouncing around in my head, ya know?

I say after all that, take a break and save up your money, you never know what will happen. But to contribute to the topic, heres some ideas.
If you aren't already tinted, get it done, or drive up here so I can do it for ya. 04+ F150s without tint = eye sore plain windows.
Unless this counts with DSG badging, get custom colored ( possibly logo'd ) front and tailgate emblems. I would stay with the Ford styling but with the blue being flat black, and the chrome being DSG. I plan do do the exact same thing with my truck, except with maroon.
You could also re-paint all of your plastic trim which is visibly faded to a nice satin black finish, Krylon with some adhesion promoter will do ya good. Theres bed rails, valance, the lower bumper grill stuff, your current H bar grill, running boards, wiper cowl.. theres alot of plastic on this truck. I left out the handles cause your planning PTM.

Forget the AS 2", go with the Bilstein 5100 series kit with rear shocks and front struts for 2" of level, much better handling, a little more firm but still great ride even with M/Ts.
Repaint your calipers to a more visible color after the Addics.
Wagner Thermo Quiet brake pads if you have the Motorcraft dusting pads
If you dont already have it, swap to the full size console with console gear shift.

I've got the console, I've painted every plastic trim on the truck back to a satin black w/ krylon, I just need to hit the WS cowling with some clear. I am going to go darker tint eventually I have 18ish% all the way around right now. I wanna get a new WS an tint it like 35-50% w/ a 5% eyebrow. I also have the wagner thermoquiets on I switched them up like a month ago. I've got patriot decals on the rear tailgate badge. I'm not goin to do the fron since I am gettin th saleen. What do you mean about custom logoed badges? where can I get those? Like "sexy edition" like 07FX4chick has ?
I will consider the Bilsteins I had a stock pair on my old suburban and that thing handled like a sportscar, for such a big vehicle.

I don't have too many more things to do to my truck--but switching out the AS for Bilsteins is on the list. I just need to save up for it, though, because compared to the AS kit they are a bit pricey.

I'm truly θεοφιλης
first off, i know on the heritage trucks you cant make the exhaust exit on the drivers side in front of the tire without a lotta work cuz of the gas tank.. im not sure if its the same on your truck but just a heads up..
and past that i like the lift idea.. id do a 12" lift on 40s if i had that truck tho
o and you might consider color matched tails rather than tinted.. just a thought.. i like how mine look..
