    5100's front set to .85 w/eibach springs, 5100 rear w/toytec 2"AAL, Light Race UCA, 17" Black Rhino Ocotillo wheels, 265/70/17 KO2's, K&N drop in filter, Grill Craft front mesh, one piece driveshaft (vibes gone) rear diff breather mod, BHLM, Fog anytime, 886 reverse bulbs.
    I'm 100% stock right now and I'm getting 4k bonus. Whats your opinions on what i should do? This is not my daily driver. 75% on road 25% off road, 8-10 time a year i will be pulling a light camping trailor, When I do go off road i dont wanna be limited with a subpar lift

    I'm thinking of 2 different lifts.

    Option 1- OME 3" with dakar leafs, Light racing UCA, spidertrax spacers 1.25" (i like the stance), Extended brake Lines, duratrac 285's and havnt decided on rims yet.

    Option 2- 5100's set 1.75, 2" AAL (I dont have rear TSB), 1.25 spider tracks, duratrack 265's and havnt decided on rims yet.

    With option 2 i get a lot more money to spend on other mods, but with option 1 I feel it is a better quality lift.

    What would you guys do and then what would you spend the rest on (and yes its all going to the truck) OR maybe an opinion on a different lift other then these 2

    Thanks! :cool:

    Go option 1 but you dont need the wheel spacers if you get new wheels with offset they will give you the wide stance you want.

    Step 1. Treat yourself to 5100's and a dealer TSB for a job well done. About 3 bills and change if you do the labor.

    Step 2. Buy a IRA with the rest of the money.
