    I was hoping to get everything before i split the truck in half.. So really all you need is new body mount bushings and bolts?

    You could always pull one clip bolt, one body bolt, and one bed bolt then head the to the hardware store in another car. Thats what I am doing.

    And yes, you need stock bushings and bolts. I am going w/ energy suspension for the bushings when I get there (hopefully very soon!!)

    And you have to think about the gas filler hoses that need to be reconnected, removing the steering extension, shifter extensions.

    I'd go with 33x12.5. I started out with 33x12.5 and switched to 32x11.5 because it rubbed a lot and I didn't want to do any cutting. One month into riding on the 32's I switched back to 33x12.5 and cut a ton out of my fender. Its worth the trouble even though I occasionally rub here and there. I'm running Bilsteins 5100/ toytec springs with an ARB front bumper with winch. With the stock front bumper I rubbed a lot less.

    I was under the impression that you only had to replace the bed bolts.. How do the clip/body bolts come out?

    Front clip bolts are behind the bumper, the body/cab bolts are under the carpet.

    Ok guys, parts have been ordered... As soon as everything begins to arrive and I can get started I will start a build thread. I appreciate everyone that took the time to post in this thread and steer me in the right direction.
