Loose the body lift and get torsion keys and add-a-leafs.

You shouldn't have to change gears with just a 3" and 35's.

Definitely wait for the cold air intake, I don't feel they are worth the money personally. Headers and exhaust would help produce a little more power to turn the bigger tires, a programmer would help as well. later

I think a programmer/tuner should come before these.

I think almost everyone on here will agree with me that a tuner should NOT come before an exhaust or CIA.
