Not to be a dik, but I'll answer everything you just stated with one word - Search.

All of this is discussed time and time again. I just figure I would save you some wait time because I don't think anyone is going to go into the level of detail you are looking for.

I'd suggest the Autospring leveling kit.

Cool

I have been very happy with my Autospring 2.5" level kit. The offset prevents the upper control arms from rubbing against the coil springs. I now have about 15,000 miles on my level kit, and close inspection shows the control arms have not come into contact with the springs.

I also love my Magnaflow exhaust. This is very subjective. I wanted a low, deep rumble, and I didn't want it to pop. Flowmasters are louder on average than Maggies, but they don't have that deep resonance, which is what I wanted. Personal preference.

Can't help you with 3" block or chip.

I've got the NCD Customs 2 1/2 . And , I haven't had any problems .Except that some time or another my springs were rubbed . so if the Autospring prevents this with the offset i'd have to go that route .Instead of blocks in the rear I went with bags .

how easy was it for you to install your Banks Cold Air Intake? I was looking at getting a K&N cold air and there was alot of drilling for sensors and other stuff and alot of room for me (a car novie) to really screw up... looking for an easily installed cold air

Another vote for AutoSpring and Magnaflow. Those are 2 of the mods that are on my truck. For tuners, go with a SCT X Cal III from Troyer Peformance.

X2 for the Xcal3! Right now I just have the canned tunes with 93octane & the the truck shifts sooo much better than stock. As for the exhaust I have the Roush off-road version( made by Borla ) and couldn't ask for any better. This is where I ordered mine from & the the service from them was great. If you are deadset between Magnaflow & Flowmaster then get the Magnaflow. Hope this helps you out some & good luck with your future mods

The install of the Banks was very simple . Actually , A friend and I put it on during lunch one day . 30 mins No drilling ! Everything fit perfectly.

Completely agree. I don't have my AutoSprings on yet, but they look very well built and have full welds. Plus there is a nice write up on here on how to do it. Maganflow is nice and I noticed the gained torque off the line. X-cal 2 from Troyer, smooth shifts and good power, but ya gotta wait a month to get custom tunes, but it's worth it.

My wifes truck came with the K&N cold air intake, and Magnaflow exhaust. The sound is freaking awesome. I have scared people on the highway when i mash on the gas.

I also had the AS 2.5" leveling spring installed makes the truck look like a truck. The springs form Ebay cost $80 and another $80 to have them installed.

Check my pictures to see what it looks like.
