I bought a aftermarket upper bumper from frontier, and had my body man paint it. It was a pretty easy swap.

Do nothing else. Small, subtle changes are classy. Big gaudy ones make the truck look overdone. Bull bars are fine if you're from Texas, or push cows around on the farm, but otherwise leave them off.

Hey I'm no expert but you asked. For some reason with the black wall tires I am thinking blacking out the headlights as shown on some other posts. See this link:

Take a look.

Being you asked, and I have what appears to be basically the same truck (mines a 2wd though), I have a few changes I plan to make. One is I plan to eventually get rid of the Eagle Alloys (058's) and replace them with Ultra Rogue 175's, they should pull the tires just under the edge of the fenders instead of sticking out like on the Eagles. Second is find something like the soft side molding similar to what's on my 97, for when someone opens a door into it. I'm not sure, I may want to eventually get a set of steps for it, but I'm not sure on that one. Biggest advantage, help reducing someone opening a door into my truck. I kind of like the H grill but I don't know if I want to change it out or not.

That's pretty much all my thoughts.
