Default 5.9liter HELP

Ok i have a 1997 5.9liter ram and was wondering the best performance parts? What are the best headers and exhaust?? also should i get a chip? but mainly was wondering what will be the best exhaust and headers to get? also what are the biggest tires i can fit under it without a lift i'm thinking 31's but if a get a 3 or 4 inch lift what could fit? sorry about all the questions but if you can help me guys thanks.


also if any of you guys have a driftwood gray dodge with black rims please post a pic was wondering if i should go with polish or black rims. thanks

Ive got an 01 offroad which sits 2 inches above stock, and ive got 33"s on it with plenty of more space to go a couple inches bigger before i put my lift on. Im putting 35"s on it for now, then after my lift, im gonna do a 1 ton axle swap and put 37"s on it.

stevejh, you'll be really tight with only 2" above stoc and 35's, when i had my 3 inch body lift my 35's fit but they did rub up against my front bumber and the back part of the fender, dodge5.9, with 4" lift you can fit 35's comfortably but you may still experience some slight rubbing if you go over bumps with the wheels turned

Im going to a 16" rim with less back spacing, not much though, i dont want to much stress on my sxles. I probably shouldve mentioned that. At full ****, ive got a decent amount of room before id start rubbing anything. I dont think ive ever been at full **** regular driving though, so its not much of a big deal.

get polished aluminium, less to worry about, look pretty much the same. just have to make sure to buy appropriate cleaners for those
