    None yet, just getting started
    I wanna start adding performance upgrades as well as aesthetic upgrades (leveling or lift kit) to my truck. I would appreciate any suggestions on the best/most preferred upgrades, brands, websites etc.. Being that I'm just getting started the more details the better! Thanks in advance! -Derek

    Welcome Derek. Best way to lift/ level is with new coil/ overs not a spacer IMO. Performance is tough. A super charger is expensive but really the biggest performance upgrade available. CAIs don't seem to do much for our trucks. A tuner (I've got a bully dog) will make the truck seem a lot peppier. It'll sound better with a Bam muffler from Keith, @dirtydeeds . You can ask him why a single is better than dual for our trucks.

    Welcome to the forum!!!

    What is your overall use or goal with the truck? Just a daily driver or are you going to be going off road with it?
