The ONLY way I would accomplish the CCV re-route is by the Y2KW57 or BLUEMAX65 method.
Y2KW57 has a piece designed to remove most of the oil vapor before going into the intake.
BLUEMAX65 has simply routed a line from the valve cover to the exhaust which eliminates all of the oil vapor from getting into the intake.
I see benefits of not having oil and having oil in the intake. All that said, my CCV is still intact the way it came from the factory, but if I am being honest I would say I am exploring my options due to the upcoming T4/SXE install.

Hotshot
And making the truck look better is a matter of personal taste. I like the factory rake, but that's just me.

Actually it is effective......at raising the center of gravity making an already less than nimble handling vehicle even more dangerous, and it is quite effective at lowering MPG as well. I pondered the idea of a leveling kit for a while, now that my plans are to tow a travel trailer that idea is completely off the table.

If you get wider tires, and/or wheels with less offset or wheel spacers your center of gravity will stay the same or be less, I have a 4" lift on mine and it handles better than it did stock because I also have a wider track width.

Once those front wheels get outside the body just a little, your mirrors are useless in foul weather because of "weather fling". Fender flares are needed with a wide stance.

I have 2" spacers so my wheels stick out, but that hasn't been much of a problem for me.

1. ZooDad
2. Carter Lift Pump
3. GP 1 Oh Something Relay
4. 38R with ported housing (No offense to the vendor, they rock). I think I would have been better off with my modded stocker or it was the ported housing.
5. 6637 Filter (Stupid loud when towing)
6. Bilstein shocks
That was fun trying to remember that far back since I can't remember parts of yesterday. Always fun to check in on FTE 7.3 section.
Somebody should start a thread to see who remembers when people got mad about splitting the 7.3's into 2 sections! Ha ha.
