Okay! So I'd like to start putting mods on my truck once I start getting payed. I am getting a 450 dollar check Monday for my job of umpiring city league baseball. And I start working with my dad next week also. I will have a pretty decent income of about 200-300 a week and don't have to spend it on anything but things for my truck. ideas on what to buy would be great!!! Should I save and get lift and tires etc? I am working for the summer. Plus pics to give me ideas on lifted trucks would be great. Thanks!!

I would save for wheels and tires and a lift first if thats the way you want to go. To better your fuel mileage you could get a CAI for it. Just go whatever direction you want. But if you can stand the anticipation and wait Id save for the lift and wheels/tires. Just remember depending on the lift and wheel/tire combo you want your looking at upwards of $4K

Yeah that's really what I'm wanting to do, is save for the lift, wheels, and tires. And CAI? What's that?

^ Seriously guys? We've regressed back to recommending throttle body spacers as a serious performance mod?

OP: Start with the basics: Search for the Gotts mod and do your homework on what good custom programmers there are if you want to go the performance route with your hard earned money.
