Default Need ideas and >hp

One last post before bed

I want/need advice on certain upgrades including the intake, suspension, lighting, pcm, and/or interior.

I'm 19.5 yrs old I have basic tools and I have a concrete pad but no roof.

I don't want to decrease mpg any more than nessary but WANT MORE HP.

I use my truck as a daily driver, light farm usage(hay,fire wood& goat) and hunting deep off-road(had mud up over the tires got hung up in a swampclose to 2ft water, got bottom centered on atreee trunk

help me, please

ok a fun one, put a 3" lift or 5" and get some bigger tires prly 35's and put a bull bar or brush guard with holes for some 5"-5.75" fog/driving/spot lights w/e u wanna call them. for pcm, you could do hypertech or superchips but i dont think that power chips are worth it they dont do as much as people think, it would be better if u were getting a major pcm flash after doing a cam, heads, intake, headers. major performanfce upgrades... but for getting around in the woods, what i said in the beginning should do you well.

i have added a 3" suspension lift but no big tires yet, also pulled the brushguard for rust warrenty, also trying to upgrade it to a westin sportsman 1piece that i can put some big lights on




EDIT: forgot to add welcome to the dodge forum..
