Upgrade Ideas

Hey y'all. So I'm starting to lay out upgrades for my truck in the world of performance. Right now I've got a bone stock 2008 F250 super duty 6.4l crew cab XLT. As a disclaimer, I'm not made of money and this is my daily driver but also my weekend off road toy, so I'm not looking at building a truck to pull sleds or do call outs. Most of this work will be done myself. I'm just looking for inputs on what to do on the intake/exhaust/tuner type things. I plan on lifting it and running 37's so with that in mind, please help me out. Thanks everyone!
