Can't wait to see pics of the Fierce MT's on a truck.
I am in a similar boat I have installed my leveling kit now the rest of my mods seem to want to be done sooner rather then later. So Recon lights in a week or so along with Pocket Fender Flares. Then I will have to decide what comes next might have to wait until X-Mas for the mod after that.

I have a $2800 budget. Im thinking of getting headers and true duals with an X pipe after the lift/tires or instead doing plenty of minor things like an FX2 front end (lights/grille) and a brushguard.. any thoughts on other worthwhile upgrades or modifications you did that you like the best?

Personally I go for the performance mods before the looks. I have an SCT programmer from Mike at 5star, an S&B intake form him, flowmaster exhaust( although I want an Xpipe or whatever will make it sound like the x-piped mustangs), and most recently a bull bar. I would love to put more performance parrts on, however I do not know what would be my best bang for my buck and relatively cheap. the programmer was by far the best investment and I am glad the I got it, makes a big difference and well worth the coin.

you may want/need a set of step bars for the truck after the level kit and tires. but headers are always a good mod

Performance parts are not bad but for me performance are more along the lines of new gears and upgraded brakes. I don't buy into the some of the other ones but that doesn't mean they aren't any good just how I look at it. The mods I do for looks are because they are less expensive and what I can afford for now. Now the exhaust system I am thinking will give some performance but I am looking more just to make my truck heard some. I just don't like starting it up and not knowing that its running.

I am about to embark on a bunch of mods myself. I wana do a leveling kit, bigger tires. I havent heard of those firece tires I will have to look them up. I also wana do exhaust, programmer, brush guard with winch. I think down the road I am going to do a 6" suspension lift and add some running lights on the brush guard.

Firece tires are a new tire on the market from Goodyear but under a different name. They are a good looking tire but thats about the extent of the information I have found on the tires. I think someone around here said their buddy had them and was loving them.
