Recommend some mods

Hey everyone I am new and Im from Ms and was wandering could yall help me with some mods and maybe photoshop me some things on my truck. It is an 01 supercrew with a 4.6 and Im not sure whether I should go tbar crank and 35's or 6'' lift and 35's. Im not really wanting the pain of putting a body lift on. Here is a pic.

welcome to the forum!

a body lift is a fine choice if you want a cheap solution to fit 35's. they arent hard to put on. I put mine on in one day with 2 other people. you might want to think about regearing to 4.56 with that 4.6 and 35's.

definitely tint the front windows, take off door molding, tint taillights, new headlights, clear foglights, acetone emblems/radio antennea, do the gotts mod, there are a ton of cheap mods you can do to help make it look better, and perform better.

I agree with whats been said so far. You could get a bull bar and mount some KC lights. A bed cover, CAI, Programmer are all good ideas.

OKay I am going to do the gotts mod, k&n drop in filter, new lightning style heads, and tint tails, but here in North MS they enforce the tint law alot and thats out for me. Should I go with 33's because of the gears because I really dont want to put out the cash on a 1500 set of gears. I would love to have 35's with 4.56's but I just cant see spending that much on them. btw I love the look of the xd spys and if anyone could photoshop me some of them on there or something else that might look good I would appreciate it.

Awesome truck man!
I did no gears and 35's for a year no problems, just a little sluggish but you get used to it. I wouldn't recommend them to you, personally if i where you, i'd do the gots mod but just leave your regular paper filter in there save 50 bucks cause it just lets more junk in. There is no power increase, unless you might get .001 hp. haha No lift/BL, just put some 295/75r16 (33.5), and if you keep your stock wheels then no need for torsion crank, thats the biggest you can fit stock. I would also say get a programmer. Just me but im not a huge fan of nerf bars unless the trucks lifted enough to really need them, but thats just my opinion. The bigger tires will really set the truck apart imo.
Goodluck
Nice truck!
