    Alright friends. It's finally becoming that time again. Time for more upgrades to the 2013 reg cab 5 lugger. Please keep in mind i have a fat bobs lift with the AAL in the rear.

    Here's the situation prompting the work in general. Front tires are beginning to cup. Most likely need to replace the struts. Looking for suggestions and part numbers for a great strut replacement. Preferably something with better abilities than stock. Secondly, I'd like to upgrade the springs in the front to help support additional weight of a plate bumper... Ideas? Then in the rear even with the AAL it still has sag. Perhaps time for some new leafs? Ideas for an upgraded leaf set off the shelf? may as with replace shocks back there as well to keep all things new. Thoughts?

    Open to ideas.

    Icon, deaver, once dakar, archive and Dobsons will have full leaf packs. Dobson, icon and Dakar are likely available the fastest but if they are regular offering plenty of spots may have stock of either.

    stock on front. Fat bobs kit came with shocks so ran those. The shocks with the kit seemed pretty generic, but just longer

    I've got a Pro Comp 2" lift, which added a leaf spring to each side in the back, and spacers in the front; Rear shock absorbers are Bilstein 4600 and front shock absorbers are stock...

    So are there any springs for the front that'll carry the load better should i put on a plate bumper?
