Default *Proposition...and NEED your 2 cents

What do you guys think? I can either get help for x-mas in getting four new Procomp All Terrains in a 35" size, or I can stick it out with the Dunlop Mud Rovers though the winter and get help in getting the ceramic coated pacesetter longtube headers with the matching offroad y-pipe to complete my entire exhaust system off. Which do you guys think I should go for? Tires are about $1150. Headers are about $600+$200 for installation ect.. Your two cents will be appreciated. I want to take advatange of this but I want to be happy in the decision I make. Obviously headers are more exciting, but I want to make sure it'd be a stupid choice or not. Thanks!

headers, might as well complete the system, i mean the tires would be nice but if your dunlops are still in good shape, stick with them for now, and save the tires for the spring

from what I can tell, you'd dig those headers more than new tires, though it's close like 60/40 as to where i'd be leaning between the two.

I'd rather hear about your headers for the next three months than your tires.

Definately finish off the exhaust, as said earlier, if your current tires are still good then wait them out a bit.

Ahh yes, I'm glad you guys feel the same as me! I am really looking forward to getting some extra horsepower, and perhaps getting some better mpg, that'd be great! Plus the headers are $500 cheaper, can't beat that. Thanks guys, this really helps. If you guys had said tires, I would have been getting the tires, but it's pretty clear to me now[8D]

go for the header theres nothing wrong with those tires to be honest i would spend the money on the headers first but before i spent my money on new tires especially when i didnt need them i would spend it on some wheels for that thing. your truck looks great but it really falls short when it comes to its lower half. thats just my opinion. take it for what its worth i never cared for those type of wheels so maybe thats why i dont like the look. but i think some nice wheels will really make your truck stand out. sorry i dont mean to offend. if i did.

no no its not mean at all. i really agree with you too, i dont like the rims either. but i figured just kind of focus on performance right now and run the rims through the hard winter first. then in the spring, finish off the pretty stuff. Headers will help me get through the cold winters of maine here i believe, but i completely agree with you, rims will really help this truck out, its all it needs really to complete the look. That and some smoked tail light covers
