so i need everyones advice, help, experiences, and opinions

so lift first then tires...i wanna know the steps to take

 

Yup. Less chance of rubbing with larger tires if you lift first. Also, if you DO rub and trim before lift you may trim the wrong areas as those places may not rub after the lift.

 

Do your lift first.

This is the lift I plan on running. From all my research its the best lift for both on and off road use.

OME 885 Coils - $156
Bilstien 5100 Front Shocks - $169
OME Rear Shocks $179
Total Chaos UCAs - $619
Wheelers 1" AAL - $77*
Total Cost: $1,200

You don't HAVE to have the UCAs. But your truck will ride better and hold an alignment.

* I am going with a Alcan Leaf pack, but for you an AAL should be just fine because you don't already have upgraded leafs.

All info/prices come from For tires, BFG A/T or Nitto Terra Grappler are awesome. Are you keeping the OEM wheels?

 

oem?

 

wtf is that haha

 

Old Man Emu = OME = High quality suspension stuff.

OEM = Originally Equipped Manufactur (factory)

what do u guys tihnk

 

i dont have 4x4 but i like playing in the mud if i can

so nee on the silent armor?

 

I don't think it'll matter WHAT tires he has if he goes in mud like that! Nothing short of a buddy with a winch or recovery strap is gonna get him out!

 

If you run into that with 2wd, your ass better be doing 30mph otherwise your just gonna bog down and have a hell of a time recovering.

I've been staying out of the mud more lately as a result. Thinking about saving up for an older Wrangler or Taco to use as a trail rig. Since I plan on keeping this Taco until it dies or their is a diesel or SFA Taco available new.

 

hey u never know jeep came out with a v6 diesel grand cherokee

um yeah i dont plan to do anything wild like that so but if i do run into some mud the silent armro will be dope?
