    Welcome:)

    Am actually pretty new at this, I will give it a shot.

    Bilsteins 5100 are the shocks.

    As far as springs/coils the most recommended brand is OME, Old Man Emu, you want to look at 800x series, IE 880/881....

    The 883x is the one to use when having armor/heavy bumper/winch/plows.

    Am not too familiar with 1 gen suspension,:eek:
