1999 ram 1500 sport project

Just bought myself a beautiful 2nd gen, no rot or rust anywhere basically needs fresh paint and its good as new! I'm looking to lift it and make it into a daily driver but more than capable of going into the woods with my buddies on the weekends. The 360 is strong but id love some more power, I am looking to lift it 3-5" nothing insane and put her on some 33's. Basically I'm posting to get some recommendations on parts and upgrades without spending a ridiculous amount so if you can give me some insight I'd love it! Cheers

if alls yer lookin to do is run 33's keep your stock rims and get some 285/75 16's and put a 2" leveling kit in.
look at intake/exaust for getting the little more HP you lookin for

I am rather liking the rims on the truck, they aren't fancy like the ones most people have so I'm going to keep the rims, found a nice leveling kit, intake and exhaust system and when I say loving the simplicity I mean it. Thanks for the input really appreciate it

If you're referring to a cold air intake, I'd skip it and put the money toward something else. If you feel like the 360 lacks power, you should regear. I went up to 285/75/16 tires and just that little increase stole a significant amount of power with stock gears. Granted, mines a 318. Find out what gearing you've got. You might be super lucky and already have 3.90(?) Gears, but that may have been an ORE only option...

I have a 2.5 inch leveling lift kit from rough country and I like it. Sure there are better kits out there but for the price I like it alot. Had it for about a year now and no problems. Im running 285's and they look small with this kit.
