FWIW.... I tend to try and stay as OEM Plus as possible.. so small lift if any, 17" tires on 285/70, stuff like that..
or use vendors you can get worldwide (like ARB) easily and get warranty work or spares easily.
the 5.7 200 was sold in a bunch of countries or at least the parts are order able via the dealer networks.
ARB has vendors all over the world.
But depending on where in the world I might just buy local or just take the 200 with what you have and maybe a bull bar already on it.
or do both
Leaded gas will eventually kill the cat's but honestly the 4 O2 sensors are reading Air/Fuel mix as its main job, I bet a cat delete would have minimal impact on the truck, leaded gas won't really hurt a port injected engine... basically its just provides more lubrication..
DFI is a different story..
