Default $300 bucks...what should I get?

So I have $300 burning a hole in my pocket...but I don't know what I should get?!?!

Here are some options:

K&N Intake Kit
Bellteck Hangers and Drop coils for a 2/4(I already have the shackles)
I don't know...anything else I should consider?

Here is a pic of my truck for reference

Do you have a catback exhaust already? You can get a single exit Magnaflow or Gibson system for $300. If you never plan on towing/hauling heavy loads, I would get a 2/4 drop kit. If you have no major performance plans in the future, I would get a custom tune. I guess it all depends on your situation...

Ok, sorry, i already have the Magnaflow, and yes I plan on towing a 27' party barge next summer so is the drop out of the question?

Some 20's are in the works already too.

make sure you paint the bottom of the tailgate too if you go this route. i say you do the 2/4 drop though. i think you'll really love it.

custom tune better perfromance and better mileage which saves for more mods, first thing I would do if I bought a new truck then drop shackles in the back
