    Alright, first of all, I bought an '07 4x4 v6 DCSB and I love it. Here are some pics:

    Anyway, I wanted to make it offroadable and nasty looking but retain a little bit of DD-ability. HEre is what I was thinking:

    -Suspension- I want a minor lift but nthing that will requires UCAs. Bilstein 5100s and a AAL in the rear? I dont know too much about the rear suspension what would I need, exactly?
    -Pelfreybilt Plate front bumper with LED cutout and foglight cutout
    - Good cheap-ish winch (taking suggestions)
    - BAMF Rock Sliders
    - Raptor Grill from homertaco (names on the list)

    What do y'all think? I'm open to suggestions/ guidance as I don't know a ton about trucks.

    looks like its got nice tires already so your halfway there! the bilsteins are cool for the front and wheelers 3-leaf aal has been great to me. I put taller coils (ome884) over my billies but cant think of any reason that is better than pre-loading the stock coils. the only reason I chose them is because of the stiffer spring rate. my truck was always on the bump-stops with factory coils and shocks.

    this is how it sits. aligns fine with stock uca's

    What setting are your bilsteins on? Also, do I need new coilovers or will stock do fine for now.

    bilsteins are at 0" with the 884s. they give about 1.5" of lift all settled out

    you do not need new coils. you could set your 5100s to the second from tallest hight and achieve similar results with factory coils

    That's probably what I'll do. Is a Warn M8000 a strong enough winch? I've been looking at them on ebay
