Need some seasoned experienced advice-Suspension

Alright. What would you suggest for an 08 DC TRD sport 2wd-modrate/conservative off road(no launch or big rock crawling), daily driver, 110k mi. Want to run 285-305/70/17 on 17x9-12mm/4.5 backspace with fiberglass(4"fenders) and tube/plate bumper(no winch)?
Considering Icon/King 2.5 UCAs and progressive leaf or new pack
Started off looking at 5100/Toytec kits, then OME...now I'm looking to get a nice set up and stay in the $3k range. Just had the leafs changed out for OEMs/factory on the campaign. Open to quality used components.

 

Why the fiberglass fenders? Because racetruck?

 

look into some ADS coilovers nothing but good things about them on here. and some spindals. pm Marie @HeadStrong Off-Road she'll help you and stay with in budget for a complete kit

 

Like the look of the Fiberglass fenders and likely going to have to trim inner liner anyway.

 

Well here is what I think;

Stage 1 for a good lift that drives great every day is the OME full kit with rear leaf springs. Yes the new stock leafs have to go. Use either 884 or 885 springs with stock bumper. The OME is a great kit that everyone loves.

Stage 2 would be the bilsteins 6112 and 5160 may be a slight upgrade for just a little more. Or lower level Icons or fox.

Stage 3 would be the ARB/OME BP51s great do it all shock with by passes. try to think ahead and if you think you will get into wheel a lot you may just want to spend some more and have a great do it all shock.

Stage 4 would be a set of valved coil overs from King, Fox, Icon ADS ect for a mid travel set up.

So you fall into 1-3 depending on how much you want to spend and how much off roading you'll do. If you just want a good lift and light off roading the OME lift is great. But when you get into wheeling you will want a little more so spending a little more now could be worth it in the end...

 

Thanks guys...keep it coming!
