cheap mods for my 91?

I have a 91 pickup, ex cab, v6. everything's stock except for the bumper. i don't have a ton of money but i'm tired of having a stock truck. so here's my question:

What are some relatively cheap or simple mods that i could do to my truck to improve performance and make it more more BA?

any suggestions would be great. i'm most interested in height though. i want to be able to fit some bigger tires than 31's.

thanks for the help.

a simple 2 inch body lift for around 200-300 bucks, and a build it yourself conical intake from an auto parts store will help.

Best bang for the Buck SDORI or other Ball Joint spacers, and spacers for your shocks, and then rear shackles, will enable you to run 33's with No issues and will make a huge difference.

Here's a pic of my 4Runner with just the 2 inch BJ spacers and LC springs in the back, of course I bought longer shocks, it will go anywhere I point it, in the process of putting a Roger Brown aka 4Crawler bodylift on right now which is cheaper as well, don't spend 2-300 for a Performance accessories bl, go with Rogers, he's the man and has supported our community for YEARS.



BJ spacers will need an alignment afterwords, you can get away with a 2 inch Bodylift without any major modifications and Roger makes them in 1.5 inch which you could do with No issues as well, cheapest way to get to 33's is bodylift, best way is BJ spacers IMO... 4Crawler sells EVERYTHING you need, check out their sites...

Buy 33x10.50, mount them on your stock rims and go 'wheeling. No lift, or other expense, required.
