    ok so Im planning on running big tires. probably 37s eventually. I can get some military 37s for 16.5s for 300 for 4. just gotta get some wheels. so runnin such a big tire i know that will put a strain on stuff....like my power steering pump n stuff. so Im looking for some upgrades such as:

    power steering pump (bigger is better?)
    any other steering upgrades? id like to get rid of all balljoints and get some heims.


    bigger alternator? my subs drain a lot of power, when it gets warm out ill do the "big 3"


    then out of the tranny is there any slip yoke elimator I can get and then get a driveshaft that has the slip in the driveshaft?

    and thats all i got for now.

    Second battery or a capacitor, just how much is the amp drawing, 100 amps?
    I forgot about the stadium lighting, yes to all the "big 3".

    Big 3 and a second battery.

    As for power steering...I'd get hydraulic assist. IDK if adding a larger pump is really going to help much. Though you may want to add a ps fluid cooler.

    I dont really have the money for a second battery, I have looked into it and would like to but currently I dont have a good place for it...maybe toolbox. but..would a bigger alternator help?

    could I use a 250 steering pump? and ps cooler? any links?
