 Subject: Seek advice on these after mkt parts

Hi All. My 2003 QC SLT Plus in Atlantic Blue should arrive next week. It has 4.7L, 5spd auto, AWD, 3.92 gears, 265x70 tires, tow package, HD everything, and a bunch of other options.
I would like to add some after market items to enhance the safety and utility of the truck, and I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has experience with these parts.
In particular, any thoughts on Leer vs A.R.E vs Century vs any other cap for the back of the truck. Also, a Westin Sportman Grill and Brush guard (chrome on stainless - to go with the SLT grill), Westin side tubes with steps for a QC (chrome on stainless), and which brand of Air Assist rear spring booster (with on board compressor) would you recommend (I felt that this would ride smoother than the heavy duty springs option, but load capacity could be increased at the push of a button).
If you can share knowledge of these add-ons it would be greatly appreciated. Or if you have suggestions for items that I haven't included here then please share those as well.
I would have liked a Hanson Bumper, but once configured as I would like it it is much too expensive (tempted though). I won't need a winch, I don't want loud, I don't want lowered or raised, euro lights or other things that cost money but don't add to the utility of the truck for my purposes.
I originally wanted a Sport Plus in Timberline Green, which they don't make in a Sport, so I went with an SLT Plus in Timberline Green. In the time between when I spec'd the truck and ordered it Timberline was discontinued and I stayed with an SLT but went with Atlantic Blue.
Any comments or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Clark
