Truck mods

Alright, this is more of a discussion thread than a true recommendation thread. Let's say you had 3k to spend. What mods would you do to improve your truck's on road ability and why?

I only ask because I'm trying to form a game plan for my rig.

  • Heres what I did........1. upgraded my stock OEM shocks to Bilsteins, 2. Added lower GM Stable Loads, 3. Installed Supersprings, 4. Helwig rear sway bar, and 5. Front Timbrens. Im very happy with the results. My truck rides higher in the back, very stable, no sway, and I carry one of the heaviest TCs out there.
  • Sway bars and quality shocks would be the two most worth while add on's. Next in line would be the correct tires.
  • I mainly daily drive it then use it to haul my rockcrawler (jeep in sig on a bumerpull car hauler) and am adding the TC in on that as well. I'm trying to prespend my xmas loot. :B



    So far I've debated added supersprings and a swaybar to the existing mods. And a pass thru rear window on the truck.



    Background: I had been debating getting a larger truck and making it a mix of a homebuilt class c and a truck camper then decided that'd be a lot of work to end up with exactly what I have now. So I decided to improve upon the existing setup. And I like conversations that allow me to daydream about improvements.
