Haven't really thought about it honestly. Maybe just a leveling kit, intake, exhaust and a programmer. Otherwise I think the truck looks fine.

Very nice!!!

Check Ebay for the leveling kit, so much cheaper than other in town offroad shops.

Nice truck, but all the way from Denver? Nothing similar available in TX? Was it really cheap, or something?

I recently had a 2006 MegaCab w/Cummins, 20's etc. Shipped it to Finland a couple of weeks ago. Gotta say that those extra inches in the cab sure make a big difference.

I couldn't find anything within 300 miles of Houston as clean, well optioned, and with as low mileage as this one. I also got a helluva deal, so with the money saved I dont mind flying out and driving it back.

The extra room in the mega cab is nice, I agree. I just didn't like the looks of the mega cab truck.
