First things first!, you need to put a new lift pump on now or a inline electical pump, AIR DOG -etc. VP44s fail on those truck bc of lack of fuel. Next, edge with attitude is a good start if you just want some increased hp. Steering - the "TRACK BAR" is what fails the most on the dodge steering assembly. Replace this first and see how the truck handles. If you do elect to place a steering sabilizer on it, be careful of how the truck will react. Mine was extremely touchy and nimble after i did that.

yeah, i read wrong. you have a point sir. touche A cab lift pays like 6.3 on a 2008-2010 the new trucks have some sort of removable fenders or something... i dont know cuz they have not broken down yet. there is no labor operation for body off removal in the 1999-2007 model years. what i was saying is if i have to charge i charge 4hours. its really not that hard. sorry dude. 
No prob.
And no touche. I'm not in any contest here and it's all good.

A couple advertisers in diesel power mag told me the airdog raptor 150gph is a decent lift pump and as far as the edge, it's mainly for economy when empty and a little more power when towing my 12k boat/trailer. Which track bar and stabilizer did you use? How are BD diesel products? There is also another company that sells either a fixed or an adjustable bar. Which woul be preferred?
Trans - What trans is in this truck. An edge turned all the way up will be able to break you clutch loose on a manual and worse things on an auto. Found this out the hard way. A Val-Air dual disk clutch will hold anything you can throw at it and a Goering bros. auto trans will do the same.
BD DIESEL - Ive had good luck with their turbos as well as their injectors. A good VP-44 "hotrod" pump will also wake that truck up big time.
Track Bar - I dont remember where i bought the track bar from, I seem to believe it was from skyjacker, but, i do know the track bar was heavier built than the original and it had 2 ajustable ends vs one. The stabalizer set up came from the same place and was easy to install, just mad the truck very touchy, but it never wandered again.

pumps- ive ran a FASS and Airdog 200 on multiple dodge trucks. Both worked perfect, FASS was just louder.

Changing front shocks also. The new goodyears that are on it are starting to show some cupping on the treads.

Dodges love ball joints, front wheel bearings and track bars. Ive owned 11 of them dating back to a 1997-2007. This always seems to be a problem.
