Default time for upgrades!

Hey guy's I have had my Ram for a year now and love it, but it is time to start playing...
It is a 2005 4x4 hemi, I use it as a daily driver, work, hunting, pulling a camper, etc.
I am thinking of the 3 easy/commonn upgrades, exhaust(cat back),programer, tires.
I dont want to lift it, just improve it. Any sugestions? what do you have? do you like it?
Thanks.

Good to hear you are happy with the Ram. Dozens of possibilities for exhaust. Superchips is the best bet for a programmer. What kind of tires are you looking for?

I would like to put 285/75/17 on but they are hard to find. so I am looking at 285/70.
does cat back dual exhaust give any hp gains, or does it just look and sound good?

285-70's are a good fit. Thats what I am running for the winter. most exhausts will give you more power, it helps the engine breath.

if your gonna get exhaust and a tuner you might as well get a CAI those 3 things in conjunction will have a greater gain than any one by itself and 285/70/17 is a good size tire for stock what kind of tire you tinking of running? i like the goodyear MTR's and cooper SST's ALOT

well if your looking for a good looking MT tire , look at Toyo's Open Country MT. looks real sharp, and have never heard to many complaints about road noise ect ect, for the amount of grip it has on them.
