I'm finally getting my tax refund back, and looks like the government took a little more than they should've. :) I've got my eye on either a pedal commander, a leveling kit, new hellwig rear swaybar, S&B CAI, or probably some other stuff I'm forgetting. I'm probably only going to get one or two of these items for now, so I'll let y'all make up my mind for me!

I love how much better my truck feels with the Hellwig rear sway bar and links. I also love my Vararam cold air intake.

+1 on the pedal commander. Maybe some front tow hooks.

I’d get the core 4x4 rear control arms. Plus a vararam intake. That would be around 1k

Probably get rid of the stock tires on my Warlock and get some BFG All Terrain KO2 Tires.:D

you should definitely do it! I added Nitto ridge grapplers on my stock wheels and 2” wheel spacers and totally changed the look

OP, I also recommend a carven progressive exhaust. Just threw one on along with 5 inch tips and wow what a difference.

What you would get and what I would get are probably very different. One of my mottos is I believe that I am the exception, not the rule. But $1k free mod money? Hydraulic steering assist. Help move those 37’s on the trail.

Great looking truck! Is that a rebel or a warlock? I like the grille design so much I added one to my Express to make it Rebel-ish lol!

I love my PC on my v6 a lot of bang for the buck that's for sure. For smaller stuff tailgate assist, fold flat floor and the bully flush mount stake pocket tie downs are all nice to have as well.
