tim, you missed my drift. i'm using on the street and it needs to pass emissions inspection. i'm looking for something like the mopar performance computer so i can swap it back as needed. i hope to never have a need for the skid plates! the other things are nice but i also need to be able to fit into street parking without denting anyone's roof ;-)

I see. What motor and trans do you have?
Lift kits are expensive for these trucks anyways, but you can go up one tire size and more aggresive tread on a second set of steel wheels. Skid plates are always a plus no matter what typ of wheeling you do. It only takes one rock or stump to end a fun day.

A computer is a good way to go. Larger throttle body, air intake, Mopar Performance intake manifolds (if you feel like spending some $$$), shift kits, posi in the rear axle (great way to get more power to road). There are headers that are emissions legal and exhaust systemst hat you can go with as well that won't be that loud.
I take it your state is strict on emissions?

ny and california are a pain. i can drive a new huge suv all over town and the state is happy. driving and old six is getting harder and harder to meet the limits. i just had my 90 Olds done today. every year almost every car i bring there has emissions problem and fails. i don't drive much. in the past i have resorted to fuel additives and a long hard run to get them to pass. this year i decided to try a different shop and low and behold, it passed by quite a wide margin. the NOX reading always seem to be high on all the inspections he does. i now have a new shop to go to :-)
so yeah, it's tough in southern ny because of the feds. upstate has no emissions testing other than to verify that the equipment is there.
i think it may have a posi. (are we going to get flamed for not saying "sure grip"?)
it has towing gears 3.9 ?
i did edelbrock? "tuned" exhaust on my 88 v6 and it was a nice improvement. the stock y pipe had a section by the oil pan that was flatted for clearance so that was no shock. i'll drive it for a while until i feel that i'll keep it a long time and do some work.
