[QUOTE="pbtjrlmrt, post: 1461584, member: 31858"] My best advice is to go slowly. A lot of uninformed people on here and a lot of zealots. Unless you are sure of EXACTLY what you want start slow..say lights then maybe stereo but make sure you know what you want from the stereo. A lot of people needlessly sacrifice rear floor space for Subs when you can place everything behind the seats. Suspension should be the last thing you consider once you've determined what you are going for. Suspension is hard to undo and suspension is always about compromise. Don't do a tune Don't do a tune Don't do a tune until you, again, know exactly what you're going for. Tunes are the single most risky thing you can do to your truck as far as warranty goes. Don't mess with forescan. A lot of people go for the bells and forget about the whistles. For example you have to turn off the battery management system for some of the most popular settings. Know ahead of time what you want and the implication. Take one thing at a time and go slow. If for example you do suspension you must do both front and rear to keep the truck balanced. If you go for wheels pay attention to offsets as you wouldn't want to create rubbing or have an issue if you decide to do jumps...or maybe you do...LOL either way just be sure to tackle each thing methodically and know that most people race headstrong into crap they don't completely understand. You're right there is a lot of fantastic information on here but also a lot of strongly biased not based in fact or reality opinion as well. It's up to you to filter through the dirt to find the gems. [/QUOTE]
