IMHO, do what you want to do...whatever your imagination conjours up. I let people tell me there ideas, cuz it seems like everyone has ideas that they think would look cool. It's not cool if it doesn't look cool/feel right to me. It's MY truck. I do what _I_ want to. I do take some people's ideas into consideration, but not before I think if I would like it.
Just remember that when people tell you to lower it till the bumper is an 1/8" from the ground, think if YOU LIKE that idea. Personally, I would never lower my truck. If I wanted a LOW vehicle, I would have kept my Hyundai Accent where I could feel ever bump, and hit my bumper more than a few times.
Here's a list of things I would do to my 99 Ranger Sport Regular Cab 4x2 4 banger:
-- LeBra (done, see gallery)
-- Door edge gaurds (boughten, but not on -- never know who might be a passanger in your truck and swing the door open and hit another vehicle)
-- CD Stereo (done, see gallery)
-- Replace factory speakers with after-markets, a sub, and an amp for sound that will kick my **** when I want it to kick my but mellow for those "special" moments if I ever arrange myself for a date)
-- Bed liner (came with truck -- and NOT the spray on sh!!)
-- Sunroof
-- Moonvisor
-- Light bar across the top
-- "Safari" bar w/ fog lights in front to protect from those moronic drivers in Hyundai Accents who don't know that Green means go and Red means stop!
-- 6" lift and bigger tires (not that 15's aren't big)
-- Hard Tonno Cover (painted white to match the truck, you know the $600 ones? LOL)
-- Subtle paint/trim (side trim or racing stripes down the top of the truck over the tonno cover when I get it)
I figure by the time I complete this list, I'll put almost as much money into the truck as what I paid for...LOL
C-YA!

My favorite modifications to a truck are: bug deflector, mud guards, tinted windows (make sure they are within state law and border state laws) step bars and bed rails. Trucks are so cool, I would have to be in a bad financial spot to ever go back to a car.
Gone but not forgotten.

Congrats on your truck! Remember that the only person that has to be happy with your truck is you - and do your own thing. The first thing I add is always an exhaust system - I like my truck to sound good. The rest of the stuff I added came one at a time over the 3 years I,ve had it and I'm sure it will never be finished. The main thing is to enjoy it.
