Well...what exactly do you want to do with your truck? That'll dictate what's "best" for it.

 

I second that you need to know exactly what you want out of your truck. If it's a daily driver. Maybe just a sweet set of tires. And black out the wheels. If it is an off road rig. Decide how aggressive you want to go. Then decide on your over all lift requirements. That will dictate tire size. Tire size will dictate gears. So you start with gears. If you find used ones and have money left over maybe some armor for the underside or sliders or a multifunction front bumper and extra lights. Just remember technically gears should come before tires. It's better to be geared low so you don't lug out the engine than be geared high. Even a low geared rig will be fine on the highway. Maybe top out at 70 rather than 90 but if you are geared too high everything gets extra wear on takeoff. Plus you will break stuff wheeling. High rpm's= lost control. Plus you will get your top end speed back with bigger tires down the road.
Good luck with your bonus. Anything you do will be fun. But choosing the right order may just save you money down the road.

 

Well offroading is the way to go, I

 

i have been lokking at the sonoransteel set up and am sure that is what i want for a kit, tires will be 315, im thinking i might go tune upstuiff, its got a 208k on it and can use it, new wirees plugs, oil filter, air filter tran fluid, brake. power steering, what else would be good for basics

 

i think i might durabak it too

 

maybe i just have to convince the wife to let me spend more, then i can get more

 

i knw my plans, shrockworks front bumper, irbis rear, 315 km2s, sononransteel lift, durabak outside, storage in back, roof rack

 

im doing tune up stuff right now, just smart to keep her healthy

 

Hookers and an 8ball gets my vote.

 

yeah but thats temporary, i want something more permanent

 

HOOKERS AND BLOW!!

sounds like good times!! lol

be sides that. yeah maintance.

 

Best suggestion yet !!!

 

Hahah... Hookers and Blow... much needed trail goodies.. Stilll laughing.. lets see.... seating for 4+ sounds like fun times...

 

do your timing belt if it hasnt been done..
do you have a elocker??
some sliders??

 

im going to do tune up stuff first i think, thanks, i would love to get some sliders but i need tpo do the maintenance stuff more so that will have to wait

 

Where's Matt16 and the other guy with a stock height rig with lockers. They should slap you silly. If you're going to be offroading get a locker first. They could probably go farther then me and I have 35"s and about 6" of lift.

 

Do the maintenance stuff first. Nothing worse than having a blinged out rig that can't get you to the grocery store! My guess is that your rear is sagging. I'd look at getting some new springs and maybe balljoint spacers to lift it back up!
