Default New 2500 CTD Owner here

What's up? I've just bought my first Dodge - a 2500 CTD MegaCab 4x4 SLT. So far (1 day) I love it. I've heard nothing but great things about it, from a couple friends that have them. As of now, it is stock, but there are a few things I want to do to it within the next month - Line-X, Tires/Wheels, Sidesteps. I'm mainly planning on using it as my everyday truck, but will be using it for camping, towing around a 4000-5000 lb trailer (yes, I know this is nothing for this truck), but also to haul some toys in the back - quad, dirtbike.

I don't want to lift the truck if I don't have to, but do want bigger tires/wheels. Perhaps 35's with 20 inch rims. How big can I go without having to lift the truck? I'll do more research to find out about the levelers, too.

I'll also dosome research to find out more data onchipping themotor, both foreconomy, and for power, but ifanyone has advice on this, I'd appreciate it.

I've been around these types of forums for a few years, so I'll do a bunch of"searches', but I appreciate any info you have.

If you want a chip and a nav and reaer backup camera, check out the edge juice with A2 monitor. It does all of the above in one neat little package. It's the one I am saving up for.
