    Just kidding i don't have kids :cheers:

    Anyways - after scouring these forums and staring at my computer so long i probably have eyeball tumors i finally decided on a mid travel package for my '15 DCSB 4wd.

    My Questions for you fine people:

    Is there anything I'm missing or should change from the list above that will significantly improve my lift and/or protect other components of my suspension, brakes, steering etc?

    Will i need longer brake lines for rear front or both?

    I'm pretty sure i want to do a CB drop, are there any complications i should know about?

    If i run 32-33s is it worth spending the money for a re-gear, say 4.56?

    What benefits/issues are there if i decide to ditch my sway bar? (
    I admit not much research done here, just heard of people doing it)

    I plan on occasionally doing some moderate to difficult off roading but this is still my daily driver for the moment. However i do plan on using this truck for some serious wheeling in the future which is why I'm breaking the bank for kings all around. Any feedback would be much appreciated. I know there are a million threads where i could probably find all this info but then i wouldn't get to brag about all the cool shit I'm about to buy! Plus my eyes need a break. :sadviolin:

    That is a good list of parts, and we can get you all of that. Up Front I would probably change out the Timbrens to our SuperBumps. Will you be hauling loads every or pretty much empty all of the time? Expedition/Overland Use?

    I work in commercial painting/drywall so I willl definitely be hauling loads on a regular basis and expedition off roading has always had an appeal to me so I'd say yes. Would I be better off with a different/beefier leaf pack?

    And as a matter of fact my plan has always been to order from Wheelers, it's the only place I've been able to find just about everything I'm looking for under one roof.

    As long as you have some kind of constant load in the back that should be a good leaf choice. The Timbrens (rear) will help provide some extra support for when you have very heavy loads.

    Awesome thanks for the tip.

    By the way, the Kings are
    adjustable for ride height correct?

    Yes, the front King Coilovers are fully adjustable for ride height up to 3" max. I usually recommend to try not to go past about 2.5" for the best combo of lift, tire clearance and good ride.
