    In a perfect world, after you've installed the perfect suspension and the best wheel and tire combo on your truck. What 2 things would you add next and why?

    I would add armor, but then you'd need to modify your suspension to handle it.

    I take that back. If you add sliders and an IFS skid, you won't need to modify anything and you've protected the more vital parts.

    Supercharger for more power! And I'm assuming this perfect world will allow me to have an infinite free gas mod also, to feed said power.

    You'd still need suspension to get back to stock height.

    Sliders and an IFS skid aren't going to have a large enough impact on anything to warrant modifying the suspension to accommodate it.

    For me personally? Now that I have wheels/tires & suspension finished, next two items on my list are: sliders and an aluminum gas tank skid.

    i thought it was us putting ourselves in op's shoes, and only having suspension tires and wheels

    my next two mods would be installing the parts i have that are still sitting on the shelf: winch and headers

    You wouldn't like OP's shoes. They're not stilettos (unless he has a secret).

    Looking forward to hearing the truck after the headers are installed.

    I could, but if I had to pay for it a 6.2 is easier to find and more affordable.

    Steel front bumper because my paint job on the front bumper is etching from the inside out and peeling due to a parkinglot hit and run. Steel bumper cost less than an OEM replacement and paint job.

    Line-X the roof so I no longer have to clean, polish, and seal it.

    Since you are in NM and it looks like you go on dirt then I'd say the next thing to add for sure is some sort of on board air. Airing down for the dirt, especially washboard, is the most life altering thing you can do for off road travel. Having a sexy suspension with highway pressure tires is not living life right!

    After that I think I'd do skids before sliders.
