Hey all,

Just bought a 06 3500 and some friend recommended this site.

Not right away but I would like to lift it by about 3 to 6 inches and in about a years time I hope to have the Banks Power Management System on it.

Well Edge Juice with Attitude or a Smarty, will net more power and probably be cheaper. There arent to many people that like Banks products.

Welcome to the DTR!

Congrats on your new '06!

I would highly suggest doing some research on this site, in the 3rd generation high performance forum, as to which lift to go with, and to help you sort out the hype when it comes to performance modules and programmers.

Don't be afraid to ask questions, because most likely, someone here has answers.

First, saying the word banks on here gets people riled up. Let me say, I have nothing against banks, and they do not have bad products, and it may be right for you, but you can have more power for less somewhere else. If someone starts bashing banks, don't take it to heart.

Second, what is your goal for your truck? If you just want to lift it and give it a little more power, you will not need a big programmer. However, a lot of people start off just wanting a little power, and end up like me and many others... with one foot in the grave over this thing!

My personal advice... look around, see who's truck you like and what their mods are, and do what they did before you buy. See how their combo works, ask them questions. I wish I had looked around a little more before I jumped into some of my mods, I would have saved some time and money.

When you're ready to make a purchase, check with Lary at the DTR store, he can usually beat any deal out there, and we have more to offer then what the web page shows.

Hope this helps. Let us know if you have any more questions. Don't be scared to start a thread and ask, ( How to ) and fill out your sig so we know what ya got... ( how to)
