What next?

I want to do somthing else to my truck but I dont know what. I all ready have the lift with upgraded shocks, HIDs, full system with rainbows, edge, all the common stuff. Whats next?
I was thinking either,
Uniball UCA
Skid plate
New Wheels
hyme steering
I just dont know what else my truck needs. I am really thinking of SS brake lines but those are cheap so what else. Is anyone else interested in hyme steering to get rid of the ball joint? With almost everone here having big tires I cant see the stock ball joint lasting long. Should I put some money out and get a hymed steering set up made?

I dont want an exhaust I hate how they sound. Call me crazy but I like stock quiet I dont even want a low rumble. I wouldnt mind the performance increase but I dont want any sound difference and I am worried about "The Drone". Hyme steering uses a hyme joint at the end of the steering shaft to do away with the ball joint. It takes a lot more to break it and you dont have to worrie about the ball joint going out trying to turn the bigger tires. Also depending on how cool you want to go you could do away with the stock inner ball joint that is prone to blowing out under hard use. I could do either or just the outter. It depends what other people want to do if anyone is interested.

you can have a performance exhaust with no noise... just get the largest casing magnafow has, which is like a 24 or 28 inch...

If thats the case why does camburgs mid travel kit come with a hyme steering kit but no rack upgrade or support? It only takes one sharp hit to knock that ball joint out. Above that turning those big tires put a lot more side load on them causing them to wear out faster and wollow out allowing them to pop out. I tryed to buy the hyme steering from camburg but theirs is only designed to work with their spindle. I could also come up with a rack support that helps keep the two halfs together so they dont come appart like yours did.
