Default What to do next..

I had my truck about two years now love the 4.7 and the 6 speed trans but I'm running out of ideas on to do next, any options? So far I've installed 2 inch lift, 3 inch body lift (yes it can be done with a manual trans), 2010 intake manifold, intake, replaced all front end parts, 285 75 16 bfg k02, Flowmaster dual

What did you run into with the body lift? I need details...immediate. Truck looks great, by the way.

Engine or body mods, I had a tonneau and a leer cap but didn't like how they looked. I didn't run into any problems with the body lift, I spoke to the guys at performance accessories and they said it should fit exactly how the auto one fit but to read the directions for the ram with manual trans too, the only thing it needs is the extension for the shifter from what I can tell but I have a short throw shifter and still needed to lengthen it about two inches

Awesome, thank you. Can you take photos of your shifter extension? I'm assuming the clutch line is long enough for the body lift.

I have a superchips practically stole it on Craigslist for $75, I've had a bad experience with efans on my old jeeps, sonnax line pressure booster wouldn't benefit me, is a ported throttle body worth the money?

donkeypunch, where it is bolted together I took two maybe 5 inch strips of steel drilled 4 holes in it mounted the shifted on top of the original location and put the strips of metal on each side of it. If that didn't make sense I'll take a picture of what it looks like now but it's 8° out and honestly I don't feel like going outside.
