time for some updates...need some help!

ok time to mod my truck some more (185,000 miles already)
its a 4.6is...have some brembos front and back

looking for headlights...prefer the black/clear corner with AE...which are best and where to get?
need new rear taillight (one is bad) so which are the best replacement for these....maybe the red/white ones? maybe stock looking ones?

thinking i need new bushings, etc...i have replaced them once with stockers but with the big brakes it just tears up the front rubber....antone know of ony upgraded replacements?

how about lowering? whats the best way with the rear airbags?...
how about shocks to go with the new springs?

thanks, looking forward to some input.

Seems these headlights are being well received.

I purchased myself, but they are still in the box. I am dealing with a tranny issue right now, so the install is on hold.

Lowering?
couple of choices. Eibach springs or BG. I have the B&G springs and Bilistein struts waiting to be installed. I went with the B&G because another member here did them and they seem to have a little more drop.

The rear is adjusted by the air bags. you can get adjustable links or have the dealer lower the rear.
