until i save up lol i can get a good hook up on the tires so i can get those in no time i probably would have ordered the deck already if i was workin but i jus got laid off on thurs but my boss says hes guna rehire me in a week or two so that will be cool... in the meantime im guna sit here n think long and hard on which one is the best lol
and if i decided to go with the lift, what lift do u guys think is the best? i dont mind spendin a few extra bucks for better quality...

you would need the appropriate harness to still be able to use steering wheel controls. I'd go with the AVIC, that's something you would use EVERY DAY

ide lift it, you can deal with the stock radio a lil longer right? lol and ide go with skyjacker, the kit that comes with the springs, better articulation...unless its not really gonna go offroad then ide go with superlift or fabtech...

If you lift it you know you will need bigger rims and/or tires. AVIC HUs are the nicest you can get IMO though.
