Alright guys I'm basically at a turning point in the road. Do I wanna get a lift or do I wanna get headers and uprev and be fast? I just need some opinions as to what would be the best choice
Headers and uprev or a lift

those 2 options couldn`t be farther from one another.
what do you want to do with the truck?
do you wheel it? do you need a lift? are you 2wd and just going for the "look" or 4wd and need more power or height?
or do you want a better running truck that will perform better than stock?

Headers and Uprev: Go faster, better running, possibly better mpg, don't have to worry about cracked manifolds...
Lift: Looks good and helps you drive over stuff but goes slower, definitely worse MPG...
Like Pale Rider said it comes down to what you want to do with the truck

best of both worlds, Headers, Uprev, small 3"/1.5" leveling/lift kit

Haha yeah alot of people wanna race here lately. But it seems like I'm playing a game of catch-up that never ends. Will uprev really make me that much faster to beat many people?
And im 4WD and have always wanted a lift. I go off-road a little bit but it would mainly be for looks.

Cajun Stage 1 will put down 50hp at the rear tires with a cai and good muffler. It will be a different animal. Cajun Bpipes | shreveport, LA 71129. There is a dyno video of my truck there as well....

Think my 1/4 time will be faster than my current 16.8?

Is the 50 HP from headers and uprev or just uprev?
And yeah street racing is fun but gets old sometimes. I'm leaning towards the lift

Combined. Last bone stock Titan I dyno'd picked up 22 whp just from the tune. You CAN do Uprev without the headers, but we do not recommend doing headers without the Uprev. So lift + Uprev is also an option :big_grin:

I was in your shoes about a year ago. I went with Fox coilovers, DK lower control arms, and billet tie rod ends. NONE of that stuff is on my truck and i still have an exhaust leak.
I loved the suspension stuff so much, but i have the same look with a 2.5" leveling kit (free). I used the sh1t outta those off road parts though and it was awesome. BUT looking back I wish i would have fixed the truck and gone with the cajun setup.

Pale Rider, I swear every 16 year old kid and some 20+ adults have a truck that's squatted. It's what is "in" I guess but I don't like it at all. If they ever had to go off road it wouldn't be a good day. I'm gonna get the 6 inch rough country and be done with it

But my truck often looks like that, of course once I empty the bed it sits nice and level again.whichever you choose, just don`t do this

Guess some people want to look like they actually use their trucks, even if they just use it as a big car.

It looks like they could only afford part of the lift to me. An they headlights would be blinding to everyone how careless.
