No obviously you can't read...I had a 2002 FX4 that was totalled..this truck was what I bought with the money their insurance paid me. I bought it bone stock and got everything done the next day.
Anyways, thanks for all the comments guys. I have a few other things planned for this truck. My sub and amp are just sitting in my garage..have been since the wreck in May. I just need a headunit. I have a Kicker L7 12 in a ProBox Super Bass box and a Hifonics Brutus 1600W amp. It quakes. I'm getting Realtree camo seat covers, camo trim on the bug shield and window visors. Eventually some 37" Mud Grapplers. I also am getting new exhaust tips - I have 5" chrome but I want 5" black tips (not the RBP, just standard flat black tips). My goal is to try to get rid of as much chrome as possible on the truck. Gonna get some NFab nerf bars. 2 aux lights on my mounted on my truck box. I'm also going to get either cut out cats (electronic) or just gut them or cut them off (I go to Georgia Southern in Bulloch County where you don't need emissions, and I'll be living here next year so I will be fine w/o cats. There are quite a bit of trucks like mine w/o cats and they sound NASTY). It seems to be just fine with the current gears, but who knows eventually I might regear it, but I highly doubt that.

Just consider it, you're adding a lot of extra heat to that transmission turning those bigger tires. Plus when you regeared you won't have to redline the truck to clean the tires in the muddy clay. You'll get stock mpg, if not very close to it in the city too.
Btw, equal length headers + highflow cats with no muffler is where it's at. When you remove the stock cats, take them up to the metal recyclers on south 301, where the old junkyard used to be. That should pay for your highflow cats off ebay.

Sweet truck man!
You might actually want to consider some gears. biggest i'd go with out regearing it is 35 if i had the 5.4. I have the 4.6 so when i regear for 35's im going 4:88's.
Just kinda rough on trans.
just my 2 cents tho. but truck looks awesome! good luck to ya!

If you have 3.55s right now 4.56s and 37s should be about near stock tire/ gear ratio.

Hell yeah, I'll for sure have to do that. I'm thinking headers, cut out cats, and straight pipes should sounds nasty. Right now I just have stock headers, cats, and no mufflers. It sounds loud, but I always want louder
long tubes, no cats, and no mufflers....

Easy smart guy, look at your original post and you'll see that you were NOT clear on that you bought a completely new truck. I don't know you so how would I know that this isn't that same truck just either A. Fixed and modded or
B. A new truck
I wouldn't. Also don't run duals with no cats and no muffs it'll be LOUD but it won't have any real tone to it.
