    My first truck I've ever owned. Bought at dealership and only owned by one person and clean Carfax. 69k miles on it. Been looking at all trucks driving by me everyday now... Lol I don't even know what I want to do with this truck. I bought it to carry stuff around since Im opening a restaurant. Saw a thing about lifts, saw a thing about cold air intakes and exhaust systems to help with gas? Lol just been looking everywhere.

    I'm all over the place here so I'm not even going to ask any questions until I search in the group. But definitely excited to be part of the community!!

    Oh yea, living in Tampa, FL.... GO BILLS! Lol and originally from Buffalo, NY

    Welcome from a fellow rust belter. 2wd or 4wd? You really won't need 4wd anymore will you?

    Welcome from Northern NY.
    Take some time to drive it and see what you like and don’t like first. Search and read the forums on lifts etc. plenty of info to get you started.
    Don’t buy a cold air intake (the truck already has one) - no gas mileage improvements to be had there.
    If you’re going to do an exhaust, go with @dirtydeeds - Keith custom builds for your truck and it’s the best system for your truck. You’ll get some performance gains from it but any improvements in gas mileage are typically negated by your excitement of hearing what the go pedal does. He’s having a sale now too.

    Hey Guys, thank you for welcoming me. So I have a question, I want to get some deep dish rims but I see that the recommendation is with no negative offset for my truck. Does that mean I cannot get deep dish type of rims without any sort of modification?

    Stock wheels are +60mm offset. The "sweet spot" for aftermarket rims seems to be anywhere from +12 to +35mm depending on tire size, lift size, and overall look you want. Some modification may still be required. Any "less" offset (0 to -??mm) will usually require some cutting/trimming/shimming (often all 3). "Deep dish" as I understand the lexicon is 0mm offset or less. Hope this helps

    Thanks this definitely helped, I just went to pick up some easy on the eyes rims since I can't get deep dish lol. Drove from Tampa to Orlando and back and gas seemed good to me.
