Need Some New Mods...Help Me decide!
Okay well I am getting $1k from orientation at my new job this week, and figure I can finally put some money into the truck. I am torn between a few different mods, all of which Ive been wanting to do for awhile and none of which I need. Just one of these. If I have money left over I will just put it aside and do something else later.
Do I get a 3in spindle lift? I will have to get new blocks for the back as well. Ive got 6ish of lift now and dont really want to do another 6in (new tires)
Do I get 4.56 gears for my rear end? I wont get a locker as I dont race OR off road. These would help my MPGs drastically (I have 3.92 but a 4.7 and 35 M/Ts)
Do I get a new hood? I love the Ram Air style, and would get the one pictured below.
Last but not least, do I get flares? If so, pocket or smooth? Pics below.

The gears will def help you out w/ the performance of the truck which is always a positive. However for the price of them wouldn't you be able to do the hood & the flares. That would be my vote if it were my $$ and truck. Pocket style for sure. One small detail though...def paint the "bolts" in the flares black. Pic'ed above they appear to be silver. Good luck though Matt! I wish I had an extra thou comin my way!

Im obviously in the looks department, as you can see I have a 4.7 2wd lifted. lol.
I really want gears, but then again I just dont know if I could justify the cost vs gas savings/fun. I want the lift, but my gf is literally 4ft11 and I hate steps (and dont have an extra 1k JUST for power ones)
keep em coming. I love the flares also, our trucks look goofy with nothing there IMO
