    $3,239 gets you fox 2.5s with resi and dsc, 2.0 rears with resi and comp adj, dakars, the little bits, and JBA UCA.


    I'd probably favor ADS, king or fox for the price you're looking at. You could drop the resi and adj if you're looking for an apples to apples price. Just my 2c.


    You can also just get a skid plate, tires, and some basic recovery gear and still get to 90% of the places fine too and save some money

    And welcome to TW!

    You'll be fine without them . If anything I'd just get them in the back if you carry a lot of camping gear with you. The 2.5 dia is the standard because you can rebuild them.

    Cab mount chop. It's metal off the frame that gets trimmed back to fit 33's

    For $7000 you can get what you want.

    King 2.5 extended coil overs up front with 700lb springs.
    Deaver u402 stage 2 to support your RTT
    Archive garage hammer hangers.
    Archive garage rear shock relocate
    King 2.5 12” w/ resi for the rear.
    SPC or JBA UCA
    Spidertrax rear spacers.
    24” brake line extensions for rear.

    Done.

    I would avoid Icon, it’s a digressive shock and we see a lot of complaints. Some have had good luck but definitely not all.

    By the way, any shock with an IFP shouldn't have this issue

    Skids/ sliders #1. Would a winch get you through the hardest parts so you could leave the suspension stock with the largest tires you can fit? If possible leaving suspension stock or nearly so is the best/cheapest option in my opinion. No need for remote reservoir shocks.

    Check out RCI for your sliders. They located in Loveland and offer 5 degree, powdercoated, with top plate. They are running a 15% promotion right now too.

    You don't need remote reservoir for your type of off road. That will save some cash.
    Remote reservoir is needed for high speed desert. They help keep your shock oil cool. Regular lower speed off road those are not needed.

    While your ideas are nice and any changes are up to you, be willing to bet you can do almost any trail most folks would truck in Colorado completely stock. The TRD off-road is vey capable no matter what folks say.
