Yeah! Stay away from the throttle body spacers, they don't work at all on our trucks. Save your money or give it to me!! Either of those will be a good decision! lol

im guessing you already know tb spacers dont improve anything on a fuel injected engine. but i have heard of people using them for there intakes after a lift like you said. i dont think the brand matters but i know airaid makes them also. id get the cheapest one that fits.

And even if you dont want nitrous, you could run alcohol injection! Its pretty safe too since its not a flammable substance when its mixed with a 50% combo of water.
