New Mod/s Help

so im trying to get a jump on my new mods..just to know what i need to do money wise and what not.

I want some LED Black Tails....but im debating between a few...what do yall think?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2004-...item2ea8901606

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2005-...item35a4615caa

And i also want to add some train horns....but dont know which is really better quality and what not.

Lastly... i got the XD Series Monster wheels...and there matte black and was wondering if could make them "shine" like maybe black chrome wheels...not that well obviously but have a shine to them. any way i can do this?

I would go for the first kit personally. It's a perk that it has an air tank and that the compressor isn't built into it like the other two.

The second set of lights would probably look better on your truck. Far as the horns Jwool is right the stand alone compressor should work better. Plus when it breaks you just buy a viair compressor and be happy.

Is dumping my exhaust downward, no mufflers, a good or bad idea guys??

as some of you know and may not know right now i have a true dual setup with flowmaster 40's....but i want to just cut my pipes right before my mufflers and downward black tips.


secondly.....i want to add a litttllee more lift to my truck to put some 40's on.....what are my options being i have a 8" lift...and 38's as it stands?
i REALLY would hate to put a body lift on...

Don't get either one of those trainhorns... They are horrible, check out www.hornblasters.com

they have real equipment and Viair compressors. I have a buddy who has one of those chinese sets and I just laugh when he hits his "train horn" and when I hit mine. It blows his out of the water!!!

I know you offroad so you're SOL unless you do the body lift. Could always send me the 8" lift and upgrade to the rize 12". haha Wheee!

yeah you could get some coilovers but you still couldn't run 40's without doing some serious trimming and you would still probably scrub.

oh and the lights look fine but are probably pretty cheap. cheap lights, just make sure you seal them up before installing, and a cheap hid kit that might go out sooner or later and it doesn't come with a relay for the hids i would imagine.

relay??? i dont know anything about HIDs.....

whats a good HID kit/company??

well i know thumper put coilovers on before he sold the truck and he got 2 extra inches of lift.....and im at 8 inches at 38's with no rubbing...when it should only take 37's. so maybe i can squeeze them in

especailly cause theres guys running 6 inch kits with 3" body lifts and 40's
