Default From lifted to lowered

Hello, as my name suggests I traded in my jeep wrangler for a ranger. And I can't seem to leave things alone so I figured I will start a build thread to get my plans all straight.
My start 2011 2.3l XL Reg Cab. Bare bones.
Near future mods in no particular order:
LINE-X bed,
Low profile tool box (that's a must)
DJM 2/3 drop, nitro slammers (for now)
Custom center console seeing as mine is just an arm rest and my truck doesn't even have cup holders.
Rockford Fosgate door speakers, 10" P3 Shallow sub and custom box behind the seats and rockford Amp.
No wheels and tires in my near future plans cause I just don't care, but will eventually happen.
Smoked tail lights
Tint
And the painted background for headlight mod.

Does anyone have any suggestions to make this truck better/useful as a daily driver?

I'll attach plenty of pictures along the way.

I think a tint with that truck would be really nice, especially with a bed cover or some black leather seats
I think you made the right choice trading the wrangler for that truck

Tint is on its way. As well as black seat covers, not so much leather, it's already got enough as it is without black leather haha. thanks, reassurance is a good thing.

Just got 15% tint installed on back and 2 door windows. I like the way it looks.

Has some imperfections but the owner said "they will work themselves out in under a week. If they don't bring it back."
Free lifetime warranty.

we'll see...
