Someone should tell them by having a wider footprint your chance of rolling over decreases.

Actually that's Clinton that's helping all these other countries, but this is a topic for a different thread, not the mod regrets thread.

the only one i can think of is the crappy CAI i bought off of egay for $30. it didnt replace the hemi hat so it was worthless. i am still using the filter on my toilet pipe intake so i guess it was worth it. and i've had 4 alignments done in less than a year. OH, NOW I GOT ONE! when i bought the truck it had a horrible wobble which turned out to be the crappy *** ****** gayears. i dropped $650 on new tires for the 20's ran them for 8,000 miles and sold them AND the flowerpetals for $500 after i got the 'stars...

Thahts why I wanted a hemi, because I want to get as much power from it as I can. If you want to save mpgs. get a civic or prius and get out of my way. Opinions are like butholes, everybodys got one and thats mine.
x2 man i want to say this soo man times when people complain about gas i 20 and i not saying oo no this that another thing get a honda

Dont think keys are gonna do anything for you. If im not mistaken they are the same as your stock ones just "stronger".

Worst mod was definitely the ****ter pipe cai because it would whistle before shifts lol. Actualy the torsion bar crank is up there too but i havent put new shocks on there yet, my balljoints were toast after 2 months.

The leveling keys are set at a different angle. They provide more lift than just cranking your stock keys.
