Default Show or Go?

Im torn between either lifting my truck or turbo charging it. I cant decide which is more important to me, the awesome look of a lifted ram or the awesome power of a turboed ram. I know it is really all about my preference but i was just wondering what you guys would choose, and why? also any recommendations on either set up or what you guys spent on those kinds of set ups would be really helpful. thanks guys.

Chances are your going to have to keep tuning it with a turbo set up to get it to run correct.

Super/turbo charge it. Lifting it is more common and unless you are going to be going off road with it, it is useless....

I say do both!!....that way you get the great look of a lifted ram,and the power to boot.just think you could challenge people to races then and smoke the doors right off of them with a big old lifted truck.wouldn't that be smoething to bragg about

Well the lift will be one price then your done and the turbo is probably full of hidden costs like transmission upgrades, rear end upgrades, not to mention everything to upgrade the engine.
