    So, Icon Coilovers with Total Chaos UCA's - wheelers offroad has a package deal for $1650. Then, Bilstein 5100 in the rear - $158 from wheelers - and 3 leaf add a leaf - $149 from wheelers.

    Am I missing any components guys? If I wanted to save a bit of money, would going with Light Racing UCAs be any different? Mainly city driving, with a bit of offroad.

    What about the Coilovers, is there another brand that is also pretty good, but a bit cheaper then the Icons?

    Also, I do not have the TSB for the rear suspension - is the '3 leaf add a leaf' the correct one to order?

    I'll be adding 285/65/18 Toyo Open Country AT's with XD monster wheels.

    Lots of questions, but thanx guys!

    You don't have to run aftermarket UCA's to fit a 285. I am using Icon C/O's up front set at 2.5" and run 285/75-16's with only minor trimming. Alignment is all within spec.

    Just a thought if you want to save some $$.

    stock rims are when u have to have the UCA's or wheel spacers. i've heard a few people say they got their specs close to perfect w/ stock UCA's after a 3", but i got mine on the cheap and did them anyways

    Love your ride man. I put some 285's on mine after lifting it and lost a bunch of power and mpg's. Have you noticed a big drop in power with those bigger wheels?
