Default Ram Air or Lift Kit?

I am going to get myself a christmas gift when i get home and i'm kinda torn between these two options.. i'm getting new tires no matter what so..... i think i am going to get the Ram Air Hood.. i like it. so far i have the HIDs for the lows and fogs and the predator programmer i have to install when i get home... just pretty much asking for some opinions here... i usually do alot of highway driving so i would like to keep some kind of milage, and i have to keep it short enough to fit under my carport. so how many would get the hood and how many would get the lift?

If you're going to get new tires either way, I'd go for the lift kit so you can just get tires that look the appropriate size. If you do it the other way around, you may not be happy with the way it turns out.

the hood would be nice, but i think the lift and tires should be first. my personal opinion... is that the truck would look to small/not beefy enough for the hood first. with the truck at a nice stance/beefy tires, the hood will be a nice addition down the road.

I say get the LIFT. when the truck is parked or driving down the road, you and others will see the lift first, at ANY angle, and the hood has to be pointed at you, you will be able to look out at the truck and see it standing tall. (GET THE LIFT), and then get some pictures for us.

A lift is not the way to go if you are concerned with fuel mileage. What size tires do you want to run with the lift? What gears do you have?

Get the hood, a leveling kit for the front, and tires that are a little bigger.
