My leveling kit is installed. My Trans4mer with winch in installed (minus the brush guards which will arrive about March 16th or so). My shoes and rims arrive tomorrow. Speaking of which I got a call this morning while my leveling kit was being installed and was told to be prepared toreceive 11 pallets tomorrow. I thought about this for a second, 5 tires + 5 rims each having their own pallet but where's the other pallet coming from? I know it should not be my brush guards because Clemson, as of yesterday,said that my new brush guards should be in on the 16th. The other thing that has me boggled it my tires and rims were supposed to be already mounted and balanced so if they are not mounted and balanced I am not going to be a happy camper.

Now onto my next mod for my truck. I am planning on an electronic fan for starters and I am toying with the idea of headers, regearing, and possibly a ram air hood.

Obstacles:
Money but since I generally spend several months researching before I commit money I have time to save.
Who makes headersand 4x4 gears for a 2007 ram.
Ram air hood will render my K&N CAI pretty much useless unless I presonally modify some sort of air passage to enhance my CAI. Don't tell me to ditch the K&N as I am a firm believer of their products.

Since I am retiring from the Army in August and don't know what my next salary is going to be I am trying to knock these mods out before I retire. All forms of credit of mine have been paid off except my mortage and a home equity loan I just got for debt consolidation (this took my current mothly bill expendature and cut it in half plus it has the same tax breaks as my mortage so it's not going to be hard to pay off).

Let me know is you have a suggestion for headers, gears or a ram air type hood that works with a K&N CAI.

Oh yeah, I also might thing about a back up light similar to the one Redram05baby just put on his truck. I think about backing into my driveway every night in the dark with a tinted rear window and it's like I am blind. A light like he added would work just dandy.

That's what I was thinking as well for the e-fan and the headers.

I was doing to do step by step pics but I am going to wait until I have my shoes on before posting pics so I can show the whole transformation. It's not like showing a pic of my truck leveled will be very dramatic but shoes, trans4mer/winch and level kit will be pretty dramatic.

I just got a call from the courier and the shoes should be arriving in the next hour or so. Regretfully I might have to wait until this evening to put them on.
