Should be able to 33s without a level. I had them on my '02 without one and had no problems.

As far as performance ... a cold air intake is easy to do and (imo) worth the $. Also, you mentioned a new muffler. Did you get just a new muffler (what kind) or did you go with a 3" cat-back? That's easy to do and worth $ as well, especially in conjuction with the cai.

Do you need to order the TPMS separate or can you use your stock ones on the new rims?

I will if I can..haha

A super40 is a Flowmaster, better known as the rustmaster. Everyone ends up removing them and putting something better on. I had straits and decided to put a Magnaflow on. I really like it, low drone and sounds great. Its dumped so the drone is worse than it could be, but I just dont like the dual exhaust look on the body line

Like he said, you will need more than a level to fit 35s. I mean, you COULD fit them and have a bit of rubbing even after trimming plastic, but its generally not recommended. You could not off road at all, and have problems towing also. It would be more trouble than its worth.

Nope, wife wanted me to clean hers. So I did mine first.... And ran out of time to do hers. Lol

Two things, how bad does that bumper gap look? And do you think I could fit bigger tires?
