Should have thought of that right away... I took mine off for a couple days, and my ol lady b!tched & moaned about it the whole time because it was harder to get in the truck.

Wow I know what my truck would look like if I ever get some money to throw at it! Our were pretty much the same truck (color and all) when they were new! As for something else to put on it get you as a set of these http://www.dickcepek.com/DC1_Black.html I wish i would have wnt with these instead I just got the polished aluminum ones.

It depends on what rear end you have. Is it a round looking differential, or an oval shaped? if its the round diff, gears are pretty reasonable, this is the same diff used by the mustangs. a 4.56 or 4.88 gear would be around 160- 200 dollars. remember that you will have to change the front axle gears also. And also that would be a great time to rebuild the trac-loc or replace with an actual mechanical locker. A good locker will run around 400 500 dollars. Then you have the installation. Make sure that you change all the bearings in the rear axle while its all apart. a rebuild kit i think is around 100 bucks. Labor varies, i would say that $200 would be a good price for labor. thats per axle. so, its kinda expensive in my opinion, but it will wake the truck up and make it feel like you got a supercharger.
it looks the same as my dads 2000 f350's rear end its kinda squared off but round at the same time lol

If you're lookin' for cosmetic ideas, I'm a big fan of billett grilles. It was on of the first things that I did to my 2000. I picked mine up on Ebay and it was surprisingly decent quality for the price.
