    2.5" rough country lift, Billy 5100's up front, 31X10.50x15 BFG KM2 tires, 15x7 Black Crager 397 series soft 8 wheels. One 15" kicker L7 Subwoofer in ProBox. 2000 watt volfenhag amp. K&N Cold air intake. And 266K miles
    I own a 96 taco dlx 3.4L 4x4 with bilstein 5100 up front set on 2.5" and extended shackles on the rear I want to take the next step on lifting, i've got the rear lift lined out but need a little info on the front.

    I don't want to buy a kit. I'd rather buy it seperatley so that i can get EXACTLY whats best for my preference of riding. i mud ride little and would like to get into trail riding/ORV park stuff.

    Just kind of wondering whats the best options as far as control arms and crossmembers and if its something i could build myself. I'm not a tightwad i just enjoy fabbing and saying I BUILT that. Would like to go about 6" or so. Any info would be great even if its a link to dealers site. THANKS!!
