There are many different mods you can do, I would recomend gauges first. Chips, tuners,exaust, intake on and on and on . I dont think the 96 has a waste gate so that eliminates that mod. I have seen dual shocks on these, dont know who makes them. They also make leveling kits to straighten er out. Stick around and somebody will know anything you could ask. Congrats on the truck

wannaburn is right, trucks built before the '99 model year didn't come with intercoolers. The "correct" order to add mods would be to start with gauges, then proceed in the following order: intake, downpipe, 4" exhaust, tranny mods if you have an auto, then increase the power output with a chip or tuner. All these cost some money, however. If you want to maximize performance as much as possible without getting into your pocketbook too much, check out shimming the fuel pressure regulator and the 10K mod.

But I think the consensus on this site is to go with the Tymar, seems to be the cheapest and does a great job of filtering. Do not put a high-flow filter in your stock air box, there are a lot of people having problems with that, mostly with the box just not sealing correctly.
