List of mods to come

[lone12star]

Alright so since in driving a longer distance to work a lift is out of the question, atleast not right now. So here is a list of mods that I plan on doing to my truck for now...

-Ranch Hand legend grill guard
-20x9 XD Spy's w/ -12 offset
-305/55/20 Terra's
-cold air intake
-weather tech in channel visors

What do you guys think? If you have any suggestions feel free to throw em out there. Thanks for your time

Your list looks fine to me,
my only suggestion would be that if you do not have a Catch Can, that would be first on my list.

I would say if you plan on putting a lift later on I would wait on wheels and tires because after the lift you are going to want to put something bigger. IMO

The wheels I'm choosing have a good offset for a lift down the road, and the tires I'm probably going to wait until mine wear down and I absolutely need em. The reason I'm not doing a lift is because I drive 50 miles round trip to work

Nice list of mods.

Since you have a long commute, I'd skip the first 3 mods. They will only add weight, and hurt your MPG and acceleration. I'd buy a tuner instead, and run their economy tune for your commute. I'd also modify the stock exhaust. It's heavy and quiet. A catch-can is good. I'd put the extra money towards upgrading the stereo (needed for the long commute).

I have the dodm80 on currently, I'm not a big fan of tuners only because all the dealerships around here are **** about it and won't touch it if it's had one. Lol and my audio, I already have 2 jbl 12's in a pro box under the back seat lol

since tuners are not a preferred option for you. I would consider the following.

Catch Can, Intake, Magnaflow Y-pipe, Ported TB - don't require a tune, but a tuner will give the best results of all mods together.

are you in need of new tires now, that you want new 305/55/20's ? those tire will decrease the overall height, but are wider / heavier increasing rolling resistance, thus hurting your mpg on a daily basis. Those rims sound awesome though !, I love my **** Cepek's they look awesome, and even with 275/60/20's @ -13 offset they push out about 1 inch past the fenders on my truck.

305/55s are 33s. Same as the 275/60s. They are actually 0.2" taller depending on the tire

I don't need new tires which is why I'm goin to wait until these are worn down to the point I need new ones, and I want a more aggressive tire but don't want to go to 35's, do you have pics of your set up?

my sig pic is prob the best shot I have lol. We are in the same boat then on the tire front. I don't need tires yet, however I want to get a more aggressive tire then the OEM Goodyears that im not a huge fan of. didn't see the point in tossing brand new tires at the time. I would love a set of ( FALKEN WILD PEAKS ) in 275/60/ 20, then level my truck with Bilsteins @ 1.4''.

Trust me when I say @ -13mm Offset my Rims/Tires stick out 1'' past the fenders. 305/55/20's would push out more then 2'' at that offset im assuming. Though seeing as you have a HBS Level already it would probably look better then @ stock height.

I'm gonna tell you know, don't go with falkens, they lose traction in wet weather easily, I had them on my 04 and hated driving in rain
