Default Need Ideas on where to go from here....

Hey guys, First of i am new to this section of the forum, sense I recently traded my 2001 Ram for a 2003 Ram.

So right now, I am pretty happy with my 2003 Ram, I just dont know what I should do for some mods.

I already have the following
-4 Inch Skyjacker suspension lift
-Moto Metal Rims with Nitto Tires
-Full stero system upgrade
- K&N CAI


I want to do some mods, im just sure what to do for a 3rd gen.

Ive been thinking about some of this stuff but second opinions would help

-Bully bar black and chrome
-New rims and tires. Hate 20" rims and want 35" not 33" But unsure of good rims for these trucks, and what tires to go with
-Electric stepboards


I am willing and looking for suggestions from anyone and I thank you all for the help,

Regards Greg.

Buy a tuner to add some performance and possibly an E-Fan, both withh add some HP to go with the visual and audio upgrades you have already done

I wasn't aware Skyjacker made a 4" for our trucks, looks good. Fender flares might be an idea, and some auxiliary lighting...

I'm anti-fender flare, so, blahhhhh on that! Get 'em if you like them, though.

I second the E-fan. I've got AMP power stepboards, and I absolutely love them. Mine are more of a necessity than vanity, but the novelty of them *is* pretty cool. I get comments on them at least once a week, on average.

I don't like 20" wheels, either, so I concur with the swap to 17's and 35" tires on your truck. If you go to 35's, though, you may want to seriously consider gears, too. Lights behind the grille are always a popular mod here on these trucks. Assuming you already have an exhaust system on that, right?

One other personal opinion would be to remove the bug guard. I hate those things. They look like mustaches, to me. But, again, just my opinion. It's your truck and if you like it, keep it! That's a nice looking truck, too!

Yeah i wasn't aware they made a 4inch until I bought this truck and looked at the tags.

I do already have a flowmaster70 dual out so that's all set.

I want to do an efan also so that is a good idea. Is there a certian one better than others?

And I'm not worried on hearing I have 3.92 or so so I'm not to conserned.

I see a lot of people that have the Flex-a-lite e-fans

I've got a Flex-a-Lite downstairs waiting to be put in. Found it on Amazon for around $260, IIRC.

Bull bar with that front bumper would not look good. You could do leather interior, gears if you do plan on going to 35's, a tuner, or the AMP steps like you mentioned. That truck looks awesome. If Darth Vader drove a Dodge, odds are that's what it would look like.
