Need your opinion....

I've got some extra cash burning a hole in my pocket but I'm having problems deciding what I should do first.....

Option 1: Leveling kit, BFG AT/S in 315 w/Eagle Alloy 137's
*Exhaust would be installed after factory rims/tires are sold

Option 2: Leveling kit w/stock rims/tires, adding duals (another problem in itself/mag or flow), KC slim-lights, KN Aircharger, XM Commander and Tint.

So what would you do to get the best "bang for your buck?" My signature lists what I've done so far. Returning home with TDY money is a real pain in the rear......

Option 2 gets my vote.

Welcome back! Glad you're safe.

I need to get me a TDY to a tax fee zone so I can get some more stuff. That's how I paid for all the initial mods on my truck.

I'll probably see you around then.

Anyone else have any recommendations?

I vote for #2. I can't see tossing out the factory tires until they're wore out, or at least have some more miles on them.

Thanks for the "votes", that's what's been a thorn in my side every time I think about upgrading. I want to make sure I'm not just going with the "more is better" that I've been known for.

First thing you should do is let me hold the money for you. You won't have any problem deciding what to do with the money after that.

I vote for the tires and wheels. The biggest visual impact you can make on a vehicle is to add a set of custom rims and tires. I bought my truck because I wanted a truck that looked good on the set of wheels I wanted!

However I would get XM too....its a must have!

I agree with RamSS/T but however go with number 2 and like everyone said wait till your tires are gone or close to it. I was going to buy wheels and tires but than I decided it was kind of like throwing money down the drain for this very reason. Just make sure which ever one you get, get pictures!
