Any plans for mods to the truck? I'm not talking deletes, tuners, CAI, straight piping, etc.
This is more about will you: leveling the truck, tires, lift, debadge, etc.

One thing I like about the 2500/3500 is they sit a little higher (avg 2-3 inches taller) so that's one thing I'd look into--not say I'd do it--but look into it and not over the top.

Leveling...most truck's front end is lower than the back so they put spacers in the front to give it that "level" look.

I wouldn't mind the truck sitting 2-3" taller--almost like a 2500/3500 height. But have no idea on the cost. I don't like the look of low sitting trucks...but also don't like trucks so high you need a step stool or ladder to get in! Also, would have to figure in MPG, too. I've ready lifting can kill mpgs.

Window visors for sure, either a tonneau cover or shell, debadge, and I'm sure there could be 1 or 2 other things. Tires would come when the originals need replacing.

Shocks (Bilstein shocks) if I'm finding the freeway expansion joints are too much. I put those on my current truck--night and day!!

I think it's a visual thing mostly. Not getting any ground clearance (from the axle standpoint)--unless you go to a taller tire.
There are some cons (increased wind drag one of them) but what I've noticed/read is that people that do 3-4" lift/level w/out changing tires that the MPG stayed relatively the same. It the bigger tires that kill MPG.
