Thanks Ferm, I think thats a little more than what I was lookin to spend. Im not sure what all my options are but I basically want to be able to put bigger tires on eventually. I have 285's on there now but they look small on this truck and I barely have wheel well clearance with those.

I was tryin to stay under the $500 range and dont mind doing it myself if its pretty straight forward. I also dont want to end up with some BS under there either......Any other suggestions???
