Default What should I do?

Ok guys I have some extra mod money to throw at the truck. I have already got tinted windows with a system, billet grille with color matched bowtie, escalade handles and removed trim, true duals and cold air intake. I am also buying white mirror caps this week. Here is what Im looking at doing.

Kenwood DDX-7019 Double Din DVD player
or
Drop the truck 2/2 (because the back is already damn near level with the front for some reason) and add 275/45/20 tires
or
Escalade Gauge Cluster
or
Longtubes and a tune
or
Shortys (just for convenience of not having to take it to an exhaust shop to have them fit my true duals to the Longtubes) and a tune

Right now I am leaning towards the drop with tires. Post up and let me know what you guys would do thats on my list or give me some different ideas. Thanks
-Jared

x3 long tubes and tune, and also do a vette servo. Cheap mod with good results. Nice kick at WOT. Almost unnoticable when normal driving.

I can't narrow it to one, but IMO, headers and a tune or the drop. Both will make a big difference, just in different ways

I really hate you guys. I had my mind all set on dropping the truck, getting some tires and being happy for a while, but noooooo you all seem to think that longtubes are the way to go. So I ordered some parts. Looks like spindles for the front and hangers for the rear AND a set of Pacesetter longtubes. I called a friend of mine and the truck will be getting tuned in 2 weeks. Longtubes will go on that Friday night, Saturday morning the exhaust shop will fit everything up and then Saturday afternoon the truck gets tuned. Damn this is gonna be fun. I can smell the tire smoke already
