dang, that's a banana.

you could get a catback exhaust, but it's cheaper to buy a muffler and have an exhaust shop install it. intake will do some as far as another mpg or two, and will give it a throatier sound when you put your foot in it.

for lifts, you could do a simple spindle lift since you're still a 2wd. i believe doetsch makes a set for your truck, or you could look for used fabtech spindles.

My credo
"220, 221, whatever it takes."
A cat-back exhaust will pick up a few hp and some mpg. Suspension lifts for late-model 2wd's are much less expensive than 4wd lifts and you can also do a body lift. A 3.0 will definitely need gears if you lift it and put on taller tires. I'd recomment 4.56 if it's an automatic and 4.88's if it's a stick.

lol hey i didnt choose the color, i chose the truck, once i finally decide on the color it'll get painted. but as far as gears, never done any work with it or read up on it at all, does that have anything to do with the tire rotation? id like to do my homework on it if you can direct me somewhere.
