    I just recently bought this 2002 SR5 4x4 and I'm wanting to beef up the suspension. This will be my daily driver and also my hunting/off-road playing vehicle. It has 265 75 16's on it right now. It also already has a spray in bed liner. I don't want to go too extreme but I definitely want good equipment on my truck. Ill be driving down rough roads, trails, and creeks probably 50% of the time.

    Here is a list of what I have in mind:

    Front bumper w/ warn winch
    Back bumper
    Rock sliders
    285 75 16's
    Tint windows

    I'm not sure what is the best suspension for what I'm wanting to do with the truck. Hopefully y'all can chime in and help me out in deciding what's best!

    Here are a couple pictures of how the truck looks now

    WELCOME!

    There are a few threads floating around in the suspension section that should be able to help you in choosing what you want.

    IMHO I recently got OME all around and love it.

    Can't justify new tires just yet because they have too many miles to toss but not low enough to sell but I'll be going with 255/85 when the time comes.

    Great looking truck though :D
