Default Tax check

Well its that time of year when the tax check comes in. I made a decent amount. I took home over 2k so I was wondering what mods I should do with the remaining $1200 considering the rest of the money went to a vacation I'm going on in June to the Dominican Republic. Let me know what you guys think. I already have a leveling kit, push bar, and exhaust.

Hmm.. the booze sounds really good, but my trips all inclusive so booze is included. I'll be drinking all day and all night, haha. So I'm thinking of maybe tinting my driver and passenger window to match the backs and possibly picking up a cai. Sound good ? I really want to lift the truck, re-gear it, and grab some offroad rims/tires. It'll take me forever to save for those, unfortunately. Oh well we'll see what I can do maybe I'll hit big at the casino in my hotel.

Don't let the Government hold on to your money interest free.

Why regear? You are running the 5.4, right? Are you planning on going with 35's or staying with 33's? 35's you would probably want to regear but 33's it is not needed. I just found this out yesterday.

It's a fine line man. For me, my deductibles fluctuate a lot from year to year, 3 years ago I got nearly 5000 in returns between state and local, this year I got about 1000, I haven't changed any withholdings, and I make about the same amount of money.

I would rather let them hold some money interest free, than for me to have to come up with 3000 to pay them......

I was thinking of 33's and I do have the 5.4, but with a 6'' lift I think the 33's would make it would look sort of awkward and the tire would look too small for that amount of lift. So I was thinking of going with the 35's for sure. It'll take me a while to save, but when I do it I want it to be perfect. I don't want to keep changing things. So it looks like I'll have to re-gear. Anybody on here with pics of there truck with a 6'' lift and 33's or 35's I need to make a comparison here.

I always go by do it once do it right !!
