    Ya, I'm torn between Fox and King coil overs up front.
    Funny how you mentioned the All Pro Expo leafs...I was looking at them. I already have OME Dakars on. and I am planning to put some weight in the back.

    No problem

    If I were to get the Fox or King shocks for the rear, would they fit in the orginal spots, or do I have to do some modifications?

    LT is awesome. Very expensive tho, but depends on how far off the deep end you want to go.

    new fenders, new shock hoops? lots of stuff..bypasses..secondaries..

    keep basically everything stock but in excellent condition with the best parts (shocks, brakes, bushings, etc.) and then swap a 1uz-fe to the stock manual trans.
