RPM bulkhead braces and skid plate covers would be a good place to start, and a new set of tires will make you see your truck in a whole new light. Something light like bowties, mashers, baja, any of those are way lighter and have a lot more grip than stock tires.

RPM A arms. You will need them after you break the stock.

well if you already have a good set of tires how about a good servo and battery pack to turn them.also a good servo saver and steering arm bearing upgrade.the stock 2.5 has good power so i would concentrate on handleing before you worry about more power.
