-A pair of 10"s and the amp behind the seats
-Rockford 4x6s in the dash and b pillars
-Nice cd player, possibly 7" flipout
-sound deaden the hell out of the cab so it can be a nice quiet ride with out tunes if you want
-train horns mounted to factory spare tire crossmember
-Maybe convert to power window and locks, still unsure about this but it would be nice
-Alarm
I'm sure I have forgot something but I will be adding to the list

Wait wait, you are dropping a 4x4 and putting 20's on it?

[tylers88]

Yes, that way I can laugh at the people the have traction issues in pickups. I will hook on street tires simply by pulling a lever back. Also it will get around better than a low 2wd truck.

[Domestic Disturbance]

still an odd decision. remember with trucks, bigger is better *spit*

Ever been to Colorado? Every mexican there buys the biggest, baddest, newest 4x4 truck they can get their hands on...then slams it to the ground and puts 13 inch spinners on it. I'll never understand it.

[BGjohnson]

Just saying, your CV angles and u joint angles are going to be a bit funky.

[tylers88]

CV angle will accually be damn near flat, they are still angled down fully decranked and they will be way better than when it was cranked all the way up

speaking of full crank here it was

[BGjohnson]

Full crank is horrible, had a Nissan pickup somebody did that to. It was at full up travel against the top bump stops. Going over a bumpy bridge on the highway made the front end come off the ground.
