Just bought a new 2012 1500 Lone Star last week and I already started slapping upgrades on it. Here's what I got so far:

2012 1500 5.7 Hemi Lone Star 4x4
HBS 2.5 Level Kit
20" Raceline Raptors w/ Nitto Trail Grapplers
K&N CAI
Bushwacker Fender Flares
Westin 4" Nerf Bars

I'm new to the truck world so any comments or mod advice/recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks.

Alright finally had some time to install some mods yesterday. I was amazed at how easy it was to install the CAI since I have had no experience working on vehicles. The CAI was actually easier to install than the fender flares... She's in the shop right now getting leveled out and some new tires and wheels put on. Here's what she looks like so far.
