I have a 98 Dodge 1500 Ram 5.9L, with 4" Pro Comp lift and 33" Maxxis Bighorn tires, AEM Cold Air Intake, and Flowmaster 40 Series Muffler, and I'm looking for a fairly cheap way to get some more horses. I'm on a tight budget, at max i can spend $400. Any help would really be nice, thanks!

 

4.56 gears are your best bet for that price given your lift and tire size. Only bummer is if you have a 4x4, then it might cost more than the $400 for both diffs.

 

Yea the gears would be your best bet but you will spend more than $400 in just the parts ( well not much more )... those lifted trucks with the big tires look cool.. but they can really kill your HP.. even a handheld programmer or Mopar PCM might be a drag as they might cause your engine to go into premature detonation with the extra load your engine sees. anything you do to your engine to up the HP will require a custom tune ( not really sure if anyone offers that for your app. ) I would say gears first of all... good luck !
