So over the next four years ... yeah long term planning I know. Was the only way to get the wife to agree haha. Anywho I got about 3 grand to spend but I want to plan it out beforehand.
Heres what im modding:
2006 1500 single cab short box 5.7 4x4

Now here's some things I'd like to get:
Exhaust headers to tail pipe
Regear to 4.10 or 4.56
Level the front with bilsteins
285s on stock 17s
CAI
And replace ball joints tie rods etc with new

Where would you start?

Well looking at moes the gears were 500 for front and back and about another 350 for both install kits.
But thats what you say should be first?

Nice. You doing the install yourself? If so then you save a lot from paying labor so that's positive. Performance wise i would def put the gears a head of the exhaust and CAI.
Not sure if new tires and ball joints are an upgrade or are worned and need replacing. if the latter then maybe look into those first.

Well the joints n such seem ok but it would more or less be a precaution cause im not sure when they were changed if ever.
