I would focus on tuning the transmission more than anything. To have to bump up to premium fuel for minimal gains doesnt sound too inviting.
Also gears and a limited slip would be nice. If you have the elocker then dont know about installing a limited slip, seems like the elocker is suited for offroad only. It should have a **** on the dash where the 4x4 **** should be if it has it

Get a 2wd 5.0 sport xlt.
I got on the Ford site and played around with it to see what I would have got if I didnt need this conservative looking 4x4 truck for work.
XLT Sport, 5.0 Sunroof, 302a, sync3 nav. Throw some leather seat covers, 2/4 drop, 22s, and cool grill.
But then again I am in the same boat and dont feel like spending money.

I'm still planning on modding it . Is the exhaust on this truck 2.5 in in/out ?
I got a buddy with a flowmaster 40 muffler sitting at his house and was wondering it its the same size as my muffler

Something you need to keep in mind. The 3.5 is a small engine without a lot of low rpm torque. It's a heavy truck and it needs torque, not horsepower to get moving. Exactly the opposite of your Civic. You need to be very careful not to do mods that kill low end torque. Fartmaster 40's can adversely affect low end torque.
