new too all of this if you can help

hello everyone. i come from the world of import were slamming your car is the look, so i need help with what i want out of my truck. first off, the look i'm looking for i've heard called the trophy look, prerunner, cali lift and what is looks like the front sit slightly higher then the rear. how would i go about getting this look? would i just lift the front? lift the front and lower the back? also i don't know too many brands but i was thinking of just getting fox coilovers in the front and shock absorbs in the rear to match and upper and lower control arms. would i be good with just these or would i need anything else. also this is a DD so i don't want to me running into problems with anything so what would be the best set up? thank you guys for everything the truck is a double cab long bed 2x4.

i've been reading about long travel and those are a bit much.

 

Welcome

You just want the look of a race truck for DDing
Or did you also want the capabilities of them

 

k thanks. question why would i need to add a leaf in the rear? also as far as the uca what falls under maintenance, like making sure the bolts are torque down? and i wouldn't need lca?

 

i know this might sound dumb but i would like to find a happy medium for both off and on road. not going to do anything hardcore as far as offroad is but just messing around and going through trails. no like major jumping or anything. but i also don't want a stiffer then hell ride

 

alright thanks man for everything seeing how everything pans out with everything else money wise i'll be adding the leafy

 

thank you mr. brown you've been a huge help with my decision making

 

and as far as the protective boot is this something they sell for the chaos arm or is it something i would have to rig up myself. it's basally is cv boot right?

 

I vote spindles in the front. That's 3.5-4" of lift. For the rear, 1.5" new leaf packs. Then just get bilstein 5100's front and rear. That will do just fine offroading. You can always upgrade to better shocks down the road if you want. That setup should make the front sit higher.

 

if i went spindles though would that be all i need for a no hassle setup? meaning i wouldn't have to look into extending anything or replacing a part for it to work right

 

Nope. You can run spindles on a completely stock setup. You just have to be 2wd.

 

alright thanks. i might go this route. as far as the tc uca who has make shifted a protective boot for it and with what?

 

It's actually not bad in maintenance. I've ha mine for a year and a half about and have never had to do anything. If mine ever starts to squeak I will just spray some lube on the uniball.

But if you really want new ucas an dont do a lot of offroading or anything hardcore I would just get the light racing ones.
