if i wanted to set up my reg cab short bed. 5.3 auto 4x4. getting a longer wheelbase truck isnt an option. i have already put knn intake, longtubes, no cats, 3in y-pipe, 3in cherry bomb extreme, side exit right before the rear tire. i plan on building this truck up over the next few months. this is still my daily driver. i still want to be able to use it for everyday driving. a blackbear tune is on the agenda for next month. just curious as what i should be looking for next.

What size tires are you running?
Gear ratio?
Do you have a shift kit/large cooler/vette servo for the trans?

If you go to 305 tires the 4.30s would be good if your towing. Id suggest a BIG tranny cooler, transgo shift kit, and a vette servo for the tranny
