yeah i dont think i want to put that kind of money into it. so far i like driving it how it is. only thing i wouldnt mind is a better tire and to put the leveling kit on but that wont help with towing.

Sounds like a good idea. No plans for an intake or exhaust to free up a few ponies?

My dads old 2000 F-250 had a 5.4 and the rear end was really high geared (or maybe low geared? However you say it you know what I mean), So you could pull anything you wanted, Although, The gas milage was just horrible, good pulling truck though and tons and tons of power.

I think he wants to keep it stock so it tows great and gets the best MPG possible.

I think he rather dump the extra money into his ranger.

i think you think right.

I did however get a $50 rebate from Summit Racing which I plan to use to get some Firestone Air bags to help with the little bit of sag.

Other than that no mods.
