    275/75/17 BFG KO2s, 3" lift, Bilstein shocks, SSO low profile winch bumper, Smittybilt winch, Leer camper shell, Prinsu roof racks.
    I currently have a 3" lift. Blocks and Bilstein 5100s in the rear and 5160s in the front. 90% of my driving is highway. The rest is trails. I camp in the Appalachian mountains as often as I can. I'm doing the COBDR in July. I need advice on a suspension upgrade. When camping I carry alot of gear. Thinking about a set of leaf springs or maybe airbags. Any input?

    If your offroading is mostly just muddy / snowy roads, you might consider airbags. They can be customized in a couple of minutes for your load, without effecting your stock ride. They would not be choice for a rock crawler though.
