Crazy off topic here as trucks aren't my thing and it's 12am so I'm too lazy to read this, but your photography skills are on point my dude.

Not a big car guy, or truck guy. But, as imgur said, the photos are spectular. Look like the we're done by a professional.

You also might want to blur out the plate number.

Thanks! Trucks arent my first choice, but it was too good of a deal for me to pass up when looking for a vehicle so its been a learning experience for me.Either way I love making it how I want it to be and taking pictures along the way.

Looks decent, but for the love of god don't lift it. I lifted one of my trucks and I bought another lifted truck and they are nothing but problems. Let me explain why in a list with prices.

Lift: 1-2k, depending on what you get.
Big tires: I just spend 2k on new 37x13.5R17's, and 2200 on 35x12.5R17's
With big tires, you need gears, if you don't you'll destroy your tranny: 2400 bucks.
Now your truck is 6" taller, but your axle is farther away from the trans, so you need a new drive shaft: Look it up, not a pretty number.
Most lifts lift your rear end on blocks, so you will be replacing leaf springs every year, until you buy the right lift springs: 750 for lift springs
Your trucks suspension is meant for a stock tire, which is about 50 LBS. 37's are around 100-150 LBS. You will be going through wheel bearings at 500 each (so far I replace one every 6 months), you will be replacing ball joints at 300 each, you will be replacing ti-rods at 300 each, and you may be replacing CV's a lot at 500 each. In fact if you are on an IFS suspension, forget a lift and big tires. I did that on my F-150 and it's in the shop about every month.

I have 16k into my F-150 which bluebooks at 5500.

As far as fox suspension, it's a waste. Unless you want to spend 2k on the right shocks from them, you will waste your money. Get the bilstein 5100 series shocks, they are the best ones you'll ever run.

It's all cool to think about, but by the time you're done you will have been able to have bought a brand new truck.

As for your 454 / cummins swap, good luck. Cummins swap I doubt you'll do because you will probably need 15k to put into that between the engine, labor, and the parts that are different for a diesel than a gas such as simple things like the exhaust.

I love how you list about 5-7k in mods, followed by "I dont plan on going too crazy" lol. Honeestly, if you want an aggressive look, get fender flares, wheels with more offset, an off road bumper (like the ADD bumpers, or the big boondock ones if that's what your looking for), and aftermarket headlights.

You guys spend a hell of a lot on your trucks, not saying it's a bad thing. We all have the vehicles we like and make our own.

OP - Looks nice and as others have said the photography is great.

that is not hella flush fitment

Ill be taking that all into consideration, however I have all parts needed available. As far as lift goes I can get everything in and done just shy of $500. I have a parts truck with a 454 on the side of my house, and a friend who totaled his dodge that may sell me whats needed for the cummins. For the tires I get very good discounts from where I work and understand what needs to be done with them. I plan on putting the one-ton rear end on my truck from parts as well for that. I know about the usual maintenance and I can do that myself as well. Thanks though, doing everything in a shop your almost spot on for prices and you know what your talking about, however I prefer to do it myself and get what I need through other connections which saves thousands in the long run

I do most of my stuff myself, ball joints, ti-rods, CV's, the lift, etc. Either way, good luck, just do more research so you know 100% what you're getting into.
