    885's unless you plan on getting a steel front bumper soon, then 886's

    Yup. They have a higher spring rate (stiff spring) to accommodate a heavier front bumper and winch. They are stiffer than you want if you don't plan on getting a new bumper soon

    Wheelers off road carries and can put the springs on the struts for an extra small charge. Then you only need UCA's and the front is complete. If you want to go a cheaper route the Light racing uca's are popular. Either wheelers or head strong off road has them. If you want to go stronger/more expensive then I reccomend total chaos uniball uca's which wheelers has.

    As for the rear it depends how high you want to go?

    Those numbers are horrible. You might just accept them as "good as it gets" but most will agree that those numbers are crap. I enjoy the way my truck drives with a PROPER alignment. To each their own. :notsure:

    Yup. He should just do the full OME kit, it may be cheaper but depends if he wants a full leaf pack or just an AAL in the stock pack.

    If you want the normal OME shocks: If you want the OME sport shocks: Then just click the "strut assembly" charge at the bottom left if you want them assembled for you

    Just need UCA's and extended rear brake lines then:

    Don't get pro comp.. ever. They are terrible and will ride like crap. Either get OME shocks or bilsteins if your on a budget.

    Thanks though on the roof top tent, I love it :D never sleeping on the ground again haha

    Not sure i'd trust that. I wouldn't trust ebay for suspension componets, to many things the seller could be hiding and could cost you more in the long run. Go with light racing from either wheelers off road or head strong off road

    3rd ones down, I think they have them for $375

    Drama queen? Please enlighten me what a "proper alignment is" They are in factory spec limitations minus caster, some of you guys, the minimal amount out of spec on caster the average person wouldnt even notice, my GF, myself included have a hard time noticing any differences from 2 days ago. But whatever floats your boat. The point being is you can totally be fine on stock UCAs, it wont hurt a damn thing, no tire wear, almost exact same driving. Is it perfect back to stock numbers no but such is modifying a vehicle from factory.
