    fox suspension
    Hii!! I’m currently looking for a gift to give my boyfriend for Christmas. He has only fox suspension on his truck, he already has wheels (has not put them on yet), and is getting tires soon.
    For our anniversary I’m getting his truck windows tinted but right now I’m struggling to think of a Christmas present. Literally any ideas help. I’d like to stay around the $500 price range if possible. Thank you!!
    EDIT: he has seat covers, he has the raptor lights on the Toyota grille. Thinking of getting a skid plate or the Baja design lights. Any recs on skid plates?

    Welcome! Awesome GF what a lucky guy. Some of my favorite additions have been the console vault and the OEM power tailgate lock. Both very nice and combined are still below your $500 price point.

    The OEM bed step (you'll appreciate this one too). It easily folds up & down with just your foot. Makes that step up onto the tailgate easy even with your hands full.

    2) Hood struts. I have the Spiker brand. Hood opens higher than using the prop rod.

    Not necessarily, when I'm loading something in the bed I usually have my hands full.
    (also, my wife is vertically challenged and it's quit a feat for her to climb into the bed of the truck)

    Factory accessories that he doesn't have and will actually appreciate are always a nice touch. If he has a tonneau cover, the auto tailgate lock kit is a nice addition. If he hasn't mounted his wheels because he needs tires, you could grab a few of the tires he wants to get him half way there. It's easy to go overboard with goofy shit though. Stick with what he actually would like.

    Give him Taco Dollars, then he can get what he wants, we don’t tell you a million things to get, and you don’t have to decide what he might want.
    I dunno.

    Do you have any more insight to what he wants / needs?

    Lighting
    Armor
    Accessories
    Seat covers
    Tune
