You can get an o2 simulator that will tell the post-cat sensor that everything is working just fine. If you go true dual then talk to the shop first, they should know how to work around the sensor.

don't get an O2 sim i had a bad experiance with one. Just get a couple of spark plug arrestors and outfit your o2 sensor with them. there are plenty of threads regarding the arrestors just do a search. i did this and my CEL has never come on.

+1 to always going suspension
depends what kind of attention you want to your truck.. bugging people with loud pipes or the oooh and ahh thats a big lookin truck..
pros and cons for each.
but if it where me.. id get the lift. fabtech makes a 3 inch lift for $450 range (give or take) and a breeze to install. everything is bolt on. get that much more clearance and a better image. but its always best to get tires to compinsate for the height.. wider and more load rating, mud terrain, all-terrain type, etc ect.
exhaust, well u can get the girls attention revvin up at them.. kinda cheesy but works lol. and it just makes the truck sound mean, intimidating, the works (if you choose the right exhaust). make sure you get a high flow CAT if you choose exhaust. the stock cats are terrible. its deff worth the $380 i spent for my cat alone.
and like Oren said, ALWAYS go suspenion.. theres only one exception for body lifts that i wont even mention.. but they look hideous, and cause problems down the road from the spacers cracking, not installed right, or people even make there own spacers.. there cheap for a reason.. JUST MY OPINION on everything i just said.. i respect everyones elses thoughts.

$380 for a cat!!! Who bent you over for that one? Mine was only $70 for a magnaflow high flow 3" in/out. Also why does everyone say the a new cat is so good? I didn't notice anything when I put mine on, only reason I did it was because I had to cut the old one off to get the tranny out.
HAHA! lets just say the cat isnt meant for the dodge.. my exhaust work is all custom.. my and a friend bent every pipe and welded every connection. in my case i got big improvements. and sounds sooooo good IMO.. lol
Oren! never heard of the hockey puck body lift.. hahaha.. must be a northern thing lol.. down here in the south we got PVC pipe lol..
anyway back to helpin townsley.. i wouldnt trick ur computer with a O2 sim. think of it as playing ur girlfriend, and then gettin caught.. no what i mean??
