I wouldn't do a lift at all. I'd do the go fast goodies. A level/ and 35s or if you already he 35s just get a cool set of wheels and level. Idk I'm a fan of lifted trucks obviously but with a cummins I would like a moderate/mild lift and be able to keep up with mustangs around town.

If you get into more go fast parts it could get really expensive
Qc long beds don't look lifted with just a level and 35s, just proportional lol

Well come March my budget is going to be roughly $4k... that will get lift, wheels and tires. That'll leave me roughly $1k for go fast goodies... that might get me an intake horn and head studs...

Did you do any lift pump/cp3 mods yet? I guess I'm a little gun shy after we lost 9 injectors last winter between two trucks
My vote is RC 5"
With the right shopping you can do a hell of alot with 4 grand
Well then again your running out of the inexpensive mods lol

Yea I'll be ordering a Airdog 150 lift pump soon. My CP3 is good for my stock injectors and turbo. So that will stay the same untill I get a new turbo and injectors. Thats if my stock injectors dont fail (knock on wood)

And your right... I've pretty much run out of the inexpensive mods. Kinda sucks lol

Are you going to try to paint the raised part black our sticking with white? It should really brighten things up!
