Love the truck Jim. That blue is hypnotic. I just got an '06 F-150 ext cab 4x4, man are these trucks BIG!
From my research as well, the 2" leveling kit from Auto Spring is the absolute best for these trucks. Not too much lift to bind stuff up, and the offset of the spring mount seems to be ideal.
I really like the front fender emblems on the newer models. i need to find the "F150 XL" badges for mine someday. the tailgate treatment ("wing" and body line) looks cool to me as well
I've never really been a fan of any of ford's bedside "4x4" stickers though. But I'm afraid to take mine off and have non-sun-faded paint underneath.
