How to spend 3K?

Just settle on a car accident from a few years ago so I figured I would just dump that money into the L.

Here are my mods

JLp 4lb pulley
Thunderbox and JLP intake
Revolution chip
traction bars
FTVB
Bassani Catback

Thinking of spending on either

LT's
Rims
Shaker hood.

Not sure which one, anyone have any other ideas on what to spend it on.

Sorry, GM stock is a better buy. It is 'cheaper' with a PE of only 8.1 while Ford's PE is 23.1. Also, GM has a dividend yield of 3.6% and Ford's is only 2.3%.

GM current price: $54.17
F " " : $16.73

i would just send out your factory wheels and have them chromed.That will save you big bucks and the 02 wheels look awesome in chrome.I would also do the shaker hood above all and keep the extra $1500 for something else.You already have a great choice in performance mods.Unless you go built block/KB any money you spend now will basically be a waste.This way you do some really great NOTICABLE mods to your truck and have $$ left over.

How about lowering the truck all around instead of the two inch drop shackles?

As much as I like the shaker hood on a black L, and I really want one myself, I don't think they are worth the nearly $1,000 that you are likely to spend on it.

otherwise i would suggest suspension mods, like a rousch lowering kit. Just something that lets you enjoy driving the truck more.

That is what I am leaning towards. Saw the Timeless 2 on Robs truck and I think that might be the way to go.

Can you say KB........... try it with me........K B......... there we go. How can I spend 3k? Ask your self this question L brother, do you want "show" or do you want "go"?

If it is show do what you are doing if you might sway to the dark side the reconsider and choose go! You won't regret it, but all of the other vehicles in your rear view will.

Good luck, what ever you decide!
