This allowed us to upgrade our current factory rolling stock. We contacted Discount Tire Direct and ordered a set of Nitto Terra Grappler tires, sized 295/60R20 mounted on MB Motoring Gunner 5 wheels sized 20x8.5 inches with a +25mm offset. The new wheel and tire combo gives the truck a better stance and better traction both on and off-road.

Moving to the intake, you can see how restrictive the factory intake tubing was.
The first step was to disconnect the mass airflow (MAF) sensor wire.
Second, the hose clamps were loosened and the factory air box was unbolted from the inner fender and removed from the truck.

K&N is now using a universal filter opening for all of their cool-air intake applications. Finally, the filter was installed onto the end of the tube inside the heat shield.

Not only does the new intake help our 5.7 breathe a little better, but it also helps to make the engine compartment more attractive. The intake alone gave us an additional 13 RWHP on the dyno.

After installing the intake, we installed the Borla dual Cat-Back exhaust system. The kit comes with everything you need to do the install: muffler, exhaust tubes, chrome tips, clamps, and hangers.
