Truck Modifications

As I stated in my previous post about my dream car. Some people may want to have a nice luxury car with great speed and a smooth ride like I do, but others may want a sports car or a nice truck/SUV. If you are planning on getting a truck then there are a few things that you might want to think about which are a suspension and/or body lift, wheels, tires, exhaust, and all around aspects of your truck.

Personally, I believe that the best way to start out is to get a nice truck the color you want and has the engine you need. Maybe a Cheverolet Silverado or a Ford F250. Whatever is your liking. Then think about how much of a lift you would want. It's really good to get a suspension lift because it can range from a 2" lift to more than 9". The best brand to look into for this type of modification is Skyjacker. They have really dependable product and come in different colors, such as red, yellow, blue, and black. I have a 4" suspension lift made by Skyjacker on my 2001 Jeep Wrangler and it works and looks great.

Next you might want to think about a new set of wheels and tires. If you want the all black look then go for some black rims. You can choose between rims with a low profile tire or rims that are made for off roading and hardcore beatings. There are so many brands for wheels so it is a big search for the ones you want and the best prices.A good place to start is a local tire store so you know the dimensions of wheel and tire that can fit on your truck. Most trucks don't have a problem holding 24" rims with a low profile tires, but it gets tricky when you try to get a wider rim to hold a wider tire for the off roading because it may rub on the wheel well when you turn. So it's a good idea to find what dimension will give you what you want. I went with a 15" rim with BF Goodrich Mud Terrain tires that are 33" x 12.5" R15.

It would also be a good thing to look into is an exhaust system. It would be a nice add-on to make your car sound meaner and make you stand out on the streets. I have seen a few trucks with stack exhaust like semis. It looks pretty badass when it is coming out the of your truck bed. These are just a few things to think about if you are looking for the ultimate hardass machine. There are also plenty of appearance modifications you can make, but those are usually up to the owner. Ask your local chevy dealer to find out what these appearance modifications could be for your type of vehicle.
