Talking What Should I Do To My Truck?

I have a 1992 F150 Custom 4x4. It is black and has an 8ft box and reg. cab. My question is what can i do to my truck to make it really stand out? There are many options but i want to know what you think would look cool on my truck thats not too much $$$$. I'd love to lift it but a good lift can cost $1000 without tires. What did you do to your truck to jazz it up?

Wheels and/or lift are the two big noticeable things ya can do. You might enjoy an exhaust system, too. But, if you haven't already get the maintenance up to date; what good is a really good lookin' truck broke down on the side o the road?

Keep your eyes out for a used lift guys... got my skyjacker for 100 bucks @ my local junkyard 30 extra bucks they pulled it for me..... It was off a 84 bronco works great on my 92 f150 I needed to get new shocks and coils as they were SHOT, but still not even close to a new lift cost.

Not quite, (your front axle is different).

yes, very. I hate to say it but it has a 2inch leveling kit and a 4 inch suspension lift. I wish it "just" was as cheap as a leveling kit.

oh and tires are 33 x 12.5, some rubbing issues.
