Gett'n a new truck, MOD suggestions?

I'm picking up my new truck on friday, its a 2003 F250 7.3L PSD CC FX4 Lariat. Its just broke in at 100,000. It was a local trade in from an older gentleman. The truck is bone stock, I'm thinking a little bit of a lift (atleast a leveling kit), 33's or 35" tires, intake, exhaust, tune, gauges and some cosemetic(sp?) upgrades. I'm looking for some suggestions as to what ya'll use and would recommend? This is my first diesel truck, I've been wanting a 3/4 ton diesel for some time now and finally found the one I wanted, and I want to do it right the first time! Thanks guys for any input/suggestions..

Nick

Don't overlook the cheap and easy ones, too. Don't necessarily have to spend big bucks to go from stock to "better". I'm just waiting on some excess weekend time to get my first ones done... probably over the holidays.

By the way, Nick... welcome to the forum. The folks here are really great and have tons of experience. I'm still pretty much in the same boat as you are right now, and I'm learning tons of new stuff every week on here.
