Prerunner build, need advice.

so I'm going with an 8-10k build goal for my Prerunner. Typical 3.5 Total Chaos kit up front, king shocks all the way around with dual shocks up front eventually. This is meant to have fun in the desert and maybe a foot or two of air time.

My main questions are, short of back halfing the frame and doubling the cost of the build. How does everyone go for the rear suspension? A simple Dakar leaf spring swap for added lift? A shackle swap instead?

Also, I will eventually be adding a dual shock set up; is having hydraulic bump stocks a waste if I will go that route in the future or are they good enough to be used instead?

 

Spring under until you can link it.

I was eye balling the Total Chaos 4 link they had, the 2nd set of shocks wasn't in the initial 8-10k build. I already know there will be another 8k-ish needed for the final build. I'm trying to break it up into phases where I can make it trail ready on the first phase, and go crazy for phase 2 since I'm not sure how long it'll be jn between phases with a new baby coming and working the side business.

 

SUA, bed cage, upgraded hangars with cross brace. DMZ and Camburg seem to have some good options. I have no experience with it but spent some time drooling and thinking about it.
