Truck looks great I'm also interested in how much u cranked I recently installed a rcx and think I wanna crank somemore.

Truck looks great with the 35's, perfect stance. Like the grill gaurd too, where ya get it?

Haha yea the tires were def more than $200 a pop... The grill guard came was on it when i got it but you can get them on jc whittney and summit im pretty sure... i was actually thinking of getting the side pieces that cover the headlights too... they just bolt on to the center piece.

Ok, it has been awile but I can finally spend a little money on the truck I have about a $1200-$1500 budget. I think I am going to swap out the 10 bolt for a 14 bolt sf. I can pick up an axle, complete and ready to go for $500. So I have $700-$1000 to spend on ______. ???

Options:
A: I am thinking about doing brand new leaf springs. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/sja-cr35 ... to replace the setup I have now which is stock springs with AAL and 4" blocks.
B: New exhaust from manifold back.
C: Some sort of locker for the new axle. Lunchbox perhaps?
D: I am open to sugestions

Keep in mind that this is my daily driver so it can't be down for more than a weekend.

Thanks everyone!

Summit sells a true dual hooker exhaust designed for long tube headers i bought it for my stepside and its awesome. its 180 shipped with no mufflers. i also think a cowl hood and some billet grille inserts would look sweet on that truck

Looks awesome. I am also partial to a nice clean stepside but I love the blue. Keep it up.

Ok... I think I am doing to wait on the locker until I can afford to regear and put an ARB or E-Locker in it. So that leaves new leaf springs to get rid of the lift blocks, or a cat back custom exhaust. I think I am going to leave the stock exhaust manifold on. So my question is how much of a difference am I going to feel with the new leaf springs? Currently the stock springs with an AAL and 4" blocks are stiff as hell. Thanks.

Love the truck man, theres a guy in town with the same ones and i want um also looks great with the lift. For my money id but 3/4 ton leaf springs and maybe a 2'' or 3'' block

The ride will be no smoother with the aftermarket lift springs. Rear shackle flip gets my vote, something I need to do to my truck to ditch the block. Much cheaper too, can still do up your exhaust too. Maybe even have enough left to buy a used a used 14 bolt and slower build it with proper gears and locker.
