I have an 01 1500 4X4 with the 5.9. lifted, 35's, but other than that mostly stock. I need better response, but am not real sure what to try first...

I'm assuming you mean throttle response? Most guys start with something like a cold air intake or exhaust, a programmer is another good option that will add some decent ponies with the ol' 5.9L. As far as simple mods that's about it, anything further would be like gears, torque converter, heads, 1.7 roller rockers, cam, etc...

Welcome to RF. As everyone's said, the easiest things would be intake, exhaust, and tuner.
Post up some pics of your ride when you get a chance and what part of Texas are you from?

check Plenum Gasket see if leaking

if leaking check cat

full tune up and new fuilds

then add fun stuff,, CAI or 14x3, no cat or high flow muffler, SCT tuner, 1.7rr, e-fan,

but 35in tires ,,,,4.56 gears would be nice, if you have 3.55 now
