    Would you recommend to go with shocks & springs or coil overs also? Or would the stock set up Work? Found a kit that comes with fox coil overs front & fox shocks for the rear

    If money is tight & you want to do it in stages you can go with your stock set up for now no problem. I chose to do Bilstein 5100's & OME 885's with my Maxtracs cause I wanted more than 4". All depends on what you want.

    Yea budgeting everything. Lol i was thinking upgrading suspension just helped out with wearing out the stock. But that’s good to know I can run stock for a bit. Want to run 33 skinnies or 35s on the stock wheels also

    I'm not too familiar with 3rd gen tire fitment but 33/285's aren't a problem on a 2nd gen with just Maxtracs.
    35's you need at least 6" on a 2nd gen if you don't want to cut a bunch of stuff like fenders, pinch welds & cab mounts. Even with 6" you may still need to do the cab mounts.

    No problem at all. Feel free to ask as many questions as you want!

    Just didn't know if you had seen that thread or not.

    Here's what I would do if I was in your shoes:

    Call Marie @HeadStrong Off-Road and ask for the ChadsPride kit

    Did not see that one yet lol

    Gf liked the look of 4+ inches of lift with 18-20” wheels plus tires. But I myself prefer 16-17s on a fatter tire so, trying to get in between for both our likes. Lol

    Yea I saw the post on the other thread. Already screenshot that actually lol

    Thx a ton! That price Is perfect for my budget lol just gonna have to figure out wheels & tires after

    FE7E61DC-6BB6-41FC-8C89-BBFCFA3D1B10.jpg Tell me about it lol

    I had mostly seen the 2-3inch lifts with OME & such. Knew about the 6.5” lift but had no idea there was a 4”. Which looks awesome
    & fits a good size tire. Probably will end up ordering the same thing you have. How much total lift will that be? & what did you do for wheels & tires?

    I've got this so far.

    Front:

    Maxtrac 4" spindles
    2016 TRD OR shocks & coils
    (those gave me 1 extra inch of lift up front for a total of 5" front)

    Rear:

    Dakar leaf packs
    RCD Bilstein extended rear shocks
    They are called 5112s or something IIRC

    Looking to go to a taller coil (884) this year
    and bump the front up to 6"

    Wheels:

    Stealth Custom Series F5
    17x9 3.5bs -38os

    Tires:

    Nitto Ridge Grapplers
    285/70/17
