best box, programmer, gauges, etc. for 03??

just wondering, since the total loss of my 02, which i had the way i wanted, almost. i am in the process of pickin up an 03 laramie, 4x4. i am wondering about what the best box/programmer is for mileage and fun. the best gauges etc. the truck already has a 5" stainless exhaust, afe cold air intake, and banks high ram.
i don't know too much about the cr's so any help will be appreciated
thanks
cowboy

I prefer the Smarty on these Crs. You can get the Diablo predator for considerably cheaper and good power for the 03-04, but nowhere near the update ability or customer service the Smarty brings. For gauges I went with Isspros and like them alot. You can look at westach, DiPricol, and Autometer also, even SPA. The Smarty will give you many more options, hands down.

Cowboy,
On my 03 I ran a TST and a Smarty for a long time and it's a great stack. I like the adjust on the fly ability of the TST. I can tell ya this the TST and Smarty makes serious power. I didn't see what you have for a trans but you will have to do some upgrading. You'll also need a turbo.
Good luck,
Topper

I like my quadzilla. Definately like the "on the fly" switch. Haven't tried a smarty though.
