Hi, we just got our "new to us" 96 4x4.
I was wondering what the best first mods are and also a recommendation on a lift kit that won't break the bank or my spine once installed. We are older and a rough ride is not appreciated.
If not a lift kit what other chasis mods would you reccomend to get the best ride and handling from our new rig?
Looking forward to the feedback.
J & K
