Guess you answered your own question

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

Personally I like the heavy duty 1/4" plate steel bumpers, but that's your call

Everything depends on what you want to get out of the truck and what you will be using it for. Typical checklist for mods-->

Gauges (pyro, boost, trans temp for auto and or fuel pressure gauge)
Trans work (TC and valve body for auto, clutch and 5th gear nut fix for nv4500)
KDP
Timing (16* is pretty common)
BHAF
Fuel Plate (Grind your own to your liking)
AFC (tune your AFC as you bring on fuel so your not clouding out the world)
Boost Elbow
Injectors/Springs (Plan on running stock charger then 5x.12's, if you have the right tools and the injectors are already out then it would be a good time to do 60lb springs)
GSK
Lift Pump

Looks like you have some of them knocked out of the way and a lift pump is not a big deal with those mods unless yours is on its way out.

Simple and $0 to do. Turn your barrels all the way clockwise
