    I recently bought a used 2019 Off Road that had a 3/2 leveling kit already installed. I would like to upgrade to a performance coilover and upgraded leaf springs instead of the blocks. I unfortunately can’t afford it all at once, so what is the weakest link I should concentrate on first?

    I'm buying my Eibach suspension a bit at a time. I have the complete coilovers and rear shocks. Get what you want and do it all at once. What you get is up to you. I still need rear blocks and uca's. When I get everything then I'm gonna get it installed along with the ECGS bushing.

    Spacer lift in the front, two inch lift block in the back. Should I replace the rear suspension of front suspension first? Or should I just save up or do it all at once? I am trying to improve on what I am running, and I was wondering where to concentrate my efforts?

    I would gather up what you want and do it all at once, if your're having a shop install it. If your're doing it yourself then replace at your're convenience.

    To early to tell to be honest. I haven’t had a chance to get the truck off road and really get a feel for it. I’m a little worried about the rear shocks, they are stock, and I don’t know how the two inch blocks will limit their travel. I also should replace the ECGS bushing as soon as possible just to be on the safe side.

    85% daily driver, 15% camping, easy trails. I’ll probably be good with my set up for now, but I might add a bed cap for camping in the future. I would probably need to upgrade my springs at that point. Budget is around $2000.

    Ed, thank you for the advice! I will definitely research this a lot more before I spend any money!

    You could remove the spacers and blocks and then get a feel for it. Probably easier to work from stock and you won’t wreck anything while you figure out your needs.
