Make some holes on the airbox, take off the seals that go from the airbox to the side panel, these 2 will make it sound meaner and feel a lil pep

Go to autozone, there's a clamp kit out on the sales floor for like 9.99, it's for 4-wheel drive guys that add a leaf. Get that, clamp it on the front of the leaf spring, clamping all springs together, pretty simple mod, air tools make it a lot easier, make sure u have a hammer to get the clamp over the spring though

I think someone wants a high post count... Why go to the new members forum, then welcome everyone? Not only that, but you have only like, 100 posts and that was probably 40 posts before you welcomed everyone to the site. Why dont you just open a thread and welcome everyone...... or maybe some of the experienced posters can welcome you, because red dawg..... YOU'RE NEW.
