Default Next best mod?

So I have a C&L intake, SCT tuner, o/r x-pipe and Flowmaster mufflers so far. And I just picked up some Nitto 555's a week ago. Its probably gonna be a couple months til I save up some cash, but would should be next mod? I'm thinking of either going with some suspension mods, but I'm not too sure what to go with first. I'm also thinking of an aluminum driveshaft aswell, but I'm not too intelligent when it comes to suspension and drivetrain mods, I'm more of a performance guy, LOL.

Have you thought about maybe getting rims? Not really performance. But, some nicerims are always good to have.

I was actually gonna get some rims a couple months ago, but the Wife and I decided to get a fence for our 4 dogs, LOL. And I just bought some Nittos to fit the rims I have so its gonna be awhile til I get some new rims/tires.

I am in your same boat. My next mod is 4:10 gears and a tune! If your not really wanting performance then yeah rims would be awesome!

Gears do sound like a very good mod. I'm surprised I didn't think of it either. Only problem will be traction, even with the Nittos. So, you'll probably need to get a couple suspension mods, like LCA's and atorque arm to help keep those tires planted to the pavement.
