Default not sure what to do guys

hey all sorry for not being on here in awhile i have been busy im still alive lol.

have a few things running in my head and not sure what to do and if im going to do them. i do have sum extra $$ and heres the list.


1. do a front axle swap, 2500 leaft springs, and a power steering pump. and slap 33s or 35s. not sure on the axle tho. i have the 9.25 rear so looking for matching front. i have friends with part rams with soild axles just need to know what i need for that plus im sure i need one that is electric right? lol

2. cam swap this is the one im really not looking into doing the most because im scared something might just go wrong about it lol.

3. would be NOS. eheh nothing to strong just sumthing that i press it i get up and go abit faster . SC should be able to handle that right? lol

i was just goning to do a 3 inch body lift but my hitch it bolted to my bumper and idk if the kit will send a longer one or will i loose it?


like i said these are ideas floating if u have input please let me know i know most of you arnt afraid. i will be doing a full oil flush within the next week or 2.

Dude, nitros is awesome!

In my opinion its got the best hp/expense ratio!

You can set it up for about $500, and get like 50-70 hp

I just wanted to get the turbo out of the way before i threw a bottle in the truck

If you actually look at the rear bumper, the hitch tube just goes into the bumper. The kit will come with relocation brackets. The hitch will still stay bolted to the tube in the stock location.

The only downside is they wont recommend the bumper relocation for towing ..... so can you trust it?

I know canadian had a body lift and a weight distributing hitch and it just sat 3 inches lower than his bumper.

I am pretty sure they say you can not tow from the bumper, towing from the hitch should make no difference, since you are not changing the location or how the hitch is attached.

If you have the same hitch that I have (factory as far as I can tell) the I don't think you can tow from the bumper anymore cause the bumper plate ontop of the hitch is 3" lower than the bumper, but you can still tow from the hitch no problem. I towed my wife's car on a uhaul trailer from phoenix az to austin tx back in May

392 Hemi Swap and your set! That is my goal for getting back to CONUS. Get an 07 RT QC and swap in a 392.
