I am in the process of getting a 2001 Supercrew 4X4 Lariet this week. It's all stock & would like to know what are some of the first things you guys do to these trucks for performance & looks. Tires are one of the first things I want. Also thinking of exhaust & some sort of leveling kit.

Thanks!!!

 

tires are always a must. but i would do the leveling kit first. im gonna go with the bilstein leveling shocks.

 

What is this bilstein leveling shocks that you are talking about? How do they work?

 

that year model truck has torsion keys replacement for a leveling kit but cheaper way is crank the bars i did it before i lifted my truck dont worry it doesnt mess anything up just a little bumpy also rims and tires cai programmer exhaust bumpers steps ...list goes on and on

 

What about something like this?

thats a leveling kit with shocks and blocks you put those little keys in the torsion bar crossmember and you start screwing the set screws in after the blocks are in the rear end to give a litlte lift but you dont need that its a waste of money just crank em up that will clear 33s stock anyhow

 

In this order; Cold air intake, Headers, Electric Fans, cat back exhaust, Wheels and tires, Tuner or chip, Forced induction, transmission upgrade and retune of chip.

.

 

not to steal the thread or anything but the efans are they worth it... and i would go rim and tire first depending on the condition of the present tires and then start on the motor working back to the tranny and axle re gears as i know from experience with how im building my truck well im pretty much done now with the looks wise and some motor

 

I really don't want to do too much motor wise. I'm more into getting it to look better than it is now. Headers, e-fans, forced induction is something I don't want to do with the truck. I have my mustang that is supercharged & that is my toy. The truck will serve more of a daily driver for me & will take me to the ranch from time to time.

What is the biggest & best looking size of tire I can fit on the stock wheels?
