For 5k you could get a pretty good size lift, wheels, tires, and still have left over to re-gear to 4.10's or 4.56's. Then any left over you could use to buy gas for the windsail in the making.

How high you want it? As far as rim's go I really like the look of blacked out Rockstars but that's just me. Tires are up to you as well, do you want A/T or M/T?

making a 5000 pound truck fast is more impressive to me than lifting it. just my opinion though

2 words. Kenne Bell.

Or, look at Xill's truck, and do what he did, if you wanna go lift/wheels/tires/combo

These guys on here love to spend everyones money! lol

you could try and do a 1/4 of Weedahos mods.

or you could pay off more of the truck.

but a lift works too. If thats a 1500, dont go too high or else you'll destroy that front suspension. I personally wouldnt go higher that 7" on an IFS but, it's your money.
