Pretty much want to keep it a "sleeper" for that suprise factor of "damn, the 4wd truck is pretty quick!"
Do all those mods and then do a turbo setup thats why I got a 4x4 just for that reason. Plus if you lower the keys all the way down and remove rear blocks with 2" shackle will make people second geuss being 4x4

Everyone goes front mount you can buy a kit for 3500 I believe. Rear mount is simple and easy way thats what im goin with first then I will build a motor set up for high boost with front mount setup. Im building all mine setups so will be cheaper. There is quite a bit of supporting mods to do if you plan on making power. Personally I wish I would uave started with a 2wd 2500. Since 6.0 and 4l80e. Its all about money and how long you want to take to build your setup. Get with slammedsilvy he has a front mount setup

Turbo is 4k plus, easy. All the things you don't think about add up quick. The essentials are $3,500 or so like stated, but then you have to consider gauges, fuel, then worry about the transmission, rear end. It adds up, very quickly.

I know of Justune, many people locally use him, there are also quite a few other choices as well. I chose someone else (on this forum no less) who was just down the street and very responsive to questions I had and doing the actual tune.

I have heard Justune is pretty good. Personally I thought he was a bit of a dick when I met him, but that's just my opinion, and it may have been just a fluke.
