Getting a little tax money back and the wife wants me to spend some of it on the truck( yea shocked me too, I was going to pay bills lol) I have new wheels sitting in the garage just need tires and the drop. I also have the 6.0 collecting dust. Kinda tired of my truck looking like a turd even though it is one lol. Plans if I spend it on looks 3/4 maybe 3/5. 325/45/17 out back and probably a 275/50/17 up front, put the roll pan on and a SS bumper on the front. Plans on speed. 228/588/112, patriot springs, ARP head bolts or studs, mill the heads(317's).

So what should I do. Make it look a little better but still be a turd or put the 6.0 go to the track blow the stock trans(now an even bigger turd) put even more money in it and sleep in the dog house lol. Sorry for the long post.

Get a drop and the wheels on and put the rest into a beefed up trans. Get the trans done first before the engine otherwise you will be stranded and I got tired of that **** a long time ago, it gets old real quick
