That is one gorgeous truck! Why anyone would want to bubble-gum it up is beyond me.

I would never lower a truck like that! A friend of mine did it with his '01 Ram 1500. Looks nice but not as good as a lift, in my opinion. And he always has problems with that low truck! It's not that easy to drive everywhere with a low truck and a long wheel base! My friend even damaged his transmission mount at driving to a fuel station!!!
I would raise it up and put some nice Cooper STT, BF-Goodrich MUD-Terrain or Interco Superswamper in 32x12.5x15 on it and do other optical mods

I would look at an intake and throttle body spacer. I would also change the trans fluid and filter soon. Get yourself some tie rod sleeves.

you talking maintenance/upkeep or performance upgrades? 100k is a good interval for a tune up and drivetrain flush, steering components and alignment could probably use some loving too.

Beauty! That's my red truck Bought with 6 miles; now 489K. 2nd tranny (200K) and engine (284K). Your's looks showroom. Now in the market for late-model replacement Silverado cause I think trans is about to go. Overdrive starting to slip. Good luck with your new truck!
