    Hi, I've been a member for a few years now and I think its time to spend some money on this gem. Right now its stock besides some wheels and a topper.

    I'm looking at 5100 for a mild 1 to 1.5 inch lift. I like to do springs and leaf at the same time I just don't know what to get? I don't do any hardcore wheeling just the normal fire road stuff to get to mountain bike trail heads. I plan on getting a hitch and bike rack plus a hard top so i'll be adding some weight. Any advice would be awesome.

    I was going to get this setup what do you guys think? Thanks for your help.

    My $.02-

    Skip the add-a-leafs and get a new rear spring pack in the back. I'm a fan of the OME Dakars. You'll have room to grow.

    On the front - a 620 lb. spring on a regular cab is going to give you more than 1-1.5", shock settings notwithstanding. And possibly a harsh ride.

    Suspension flex is just as important as lift. Upper control arms are almost as essential to unleash the beast within.

    That said, I'm no suspension expert - so you should ask one. Find one of the TW vendors close to you and ask them.
