Question Which one first O_o ?

Alright so both will get done eventually but for now moneys tight so only one can be done for now.

Option A:

http://www.rockymountainsusp.com/dodge_leveling_kit.htm
http://www.my4by.com/dodge-ram-1500-...0_633_692.html

Also, let me know if these two are even compatible with each other . . .

Option B:

4.56 Gears . . . and something else small, undecided.

Any feed back will be greatly appreciated seeing as how I love to just simply read peoples inputs on others' decisions. I've been bored not being able to work on my truck lately.

After this set of mods I think I'll finally post a pic or two of my truck ^_^

You can get some used or even new gears here or on other boards for a decent price and installed for less than 800 IMO.

I bought my Auburn LSD, Motive master install kit and Motive 456s all new and in boxes for 450 and another 250 to have it all installed.

Go with the gears. You get more for what you payed.

Wink Thanks

Holy crap, post the thread, wake up and awesome feed back from the people whom I've only read replies to other threads. These forums are great. I'm glad I spent time finding a forum and landing on this one, haven't browsed any others. I also read the HIDExtra's thread and placed an order for 6k Bi-Xenon conversion kit so I'm hoping to get that done as well

Looks like I'll be going with the Motive 4.56 gears(w/ master kit preferably)
I'll do the shocks and lift later on down the road just before I go in for another alignment.

As for going about buying them, any suggestions where or just stick with the MoesPerformance pricing I've found . . . as well would I be able to install this myself(I've been QUITE fond of installin any mods myself, lets me know it's my baby)or save the hassle and go to a trusted shop in the area ?

Thanks,
Kyle

good choice. Seems like gears are a popular mod around here with good results.
