Cheesemaker,
I'm not too sure if this truck came the way it is stock, but it looks like it has been lifted.  Not sure though.  It's been a while since I saw it last (can't wait to get it up here).

Once I replace the engine and tranny, I'm going to get out there and drive it a little.  When I upgrade the tires, I'd like to go with 35" tires to start, but it would be nice to be able to go up to 37" without having to buy a new set of rims.  Will the 37" fit the same rims?

I don't know much about crossover steering or it's benefits so this will be a good thing for me to study up on.

I like the rest of the suggestions too.  I am a little worried about crunching my sides and then not being able to open or close the door so I may move the rock sliders up on the list since those would be easy to install.  The cage can always come later when my driving skills improve and I begin to tackle more challenging things, but I have seen plenty videos where they have completely saved a rig.  I have also seen videos where a cage was not used and they flipped, pretty much destroying the rig.
