    Howdy all from treasure coast FL! New member, first post. Lurked on the forum for a bit before making my first purchase, came from a lifted xb to something more capable. after only 150 miles on my brand new 2017 DCSB taco (xp pkg) was rear ended :(. Oh well, excuse for upgrades! Added a fab fours rear bumper, now researching a front along with some basic suspension upgrades (I don't off-road, but the added weight and desire for lift makes for a lot of reading and thread sifting). Anyways, great forum and community, thanks for having me.

    Welcome to TW! I wish someone would rear end me to help with the purchase of a new rear bumper.

    It was very melancholy, the upgrades were nice, but it instantly didn't feel like a new truck anymore. Thanks jumbo, but I'm pretty set on the fab fours premium front, want the full grill and light protection, and considered arb and the overland but prefer the appearance of fab fours better. Due to weight, I expect to use ome 886s, just trying to find the right shocks, and if I'll need UCAs as well. Still trying to figure out how to bring the rear up as well with the added weight. I was hoping to retain a 2" lift after the added weight, so I'm considering aal or extended bilstens for rear, but am new to such upgrades. I think a call to headstrong is in order, unless anyone happens to know of a good setup. I don't do any off-roading, is a pavement pounder with exception of maybe a washboard dirt road. No real towing either
