Project in progress

I have finally after alot of research decided on the major parts of my upcoming project. It should start sometime in Feburary as a bday gift to myself. first thing is to replace both cylinder heads because i believe one is cracked(maybe be wrong) and i like to replace things like these in pairs. Will be putting timeserts in before they are installed to solve the spark plug problem.( Thats been my only major issue since buyijng the truck.) once new cylinder heads are installed then it will be time to get some stance. I will be acquiring a 3 inch spindle lift kit from Rough country. The kit includes new spindles for the front and blocks for the rear plus with new rc shocks all around. ( still rolling on stocks with 154k) . Then new 17 inch rims wrapped in duratracs for some offroad and on-road traction. The walmart tires i bought in high school arent the best in either. Gonna need these as im working in an area that floods when it rains. Since im a college student also like the mileage for the price. On the inside i will be repairing my drivers seat( Anyone know where to get replacement oem seat covers for lariat captains chairs let me know. ) Next will also be a sub enclosure. A sundown 10inch rated at 1250 rms will be put into a custom center console box between the seats with the amp mounting behind the rear seat. Plan on repainting in the summer when i got time off in the summer from school. Most like cherry red with custom marble stripes. Thats the plan so far. Any input will be valued as i learned you can find out alot of info from this forum. And yes i will be buying the timesert kit for the cylinder heads. Will be posting pics of progress.
