Question what to do next?

Well here it is, I'll have a little spare change comming up this fall, and I'm trying to decide what I should do with my ranger, I've narrowed it down to doing one of 3 things.

New shocks, rancho's, bilistiens, or some type of monroes

I've still got the stock ones and my ranger is at 78k on the clock, prolly time for new ones.....

New radio deck and 4 speakers

While I'd like to change my radio and speakers, I don't like the tacky look that comes from putting a small face deck into a large face deck opening, using the adapters. Anyone know of a decent looking kit?

Possibly a cold intake

I'm still unsure of the value of a investment of this sort, but I'm always looking into way to get more umph outta my 4.0l.

Current mods are below.

Thanks for the advice!

I have a cold air intake, chip, throttle body, Mass air flow sensor, header followed buy straight pipes, 265/75/16 mud terrains. If you want more power you need more air. Now im done with the easy stuff and am very happy with the power i have.

Based on the mods you already have done, and keeping in mind the farming, hunting and other activities that you often engage in, if I were you I would go with the shocks.

If anything is left over, I'd buy some decent speakers and replace the stock ones in your doors.

Any shocks that you guys would reccomend?

I'm kind of leaning toward the rancho's, this ranger see's alot of rough backroads and extremely rough feilds.

There has been times when I lost whole coolers outta the rear box because it was so rough.
