what to do next ?

My 2.7 truck now has 130k on it...bought it at 62k. I take it to the dealership every 10k miles to get serviced. Everything for the most part, is stock.

I added a cbi front bumper/skid plate, upgraded tires to 265/75/16s, and upgraded headlights/foglights.

It's a 4 banger so weight is always a consideration, but what should I do next? Thinking I'd like to do a suspension upgrade of some sorts....but really no complaints with how the current suspension is performing. Maybe just looking for a new excuse to spend money...help me!

 

What's your budget?


...

LS swap and a 6x6 dually.

 

lol....thanks?

 

The truck looks great as it is. Just enjoy it.

 

Save your $$$$$$$$ for the next truck when the time comes

 

Ignition coils. Just do it. Edit: like, today

 

Look into Bilstein 5100s. Set at 4th notch will give you about 1.5 inches upfront and a way smoother/planted ride on those 265s. All 4 can be had for sub $400.

 

Stereo?

 

Tonneau? Looks empty back there?

 

Step bars / rock sliders?

 

Car wash membership? She’s dirty.

 

thanks - yeah I’ve considered the 5100s or 6112s. When do most people replace stock suspension?

 

never heard anything about this…something I should do? Expensive?

 

Best $70 ea. I’ve spent on the truck (and I’ve spent on the truck)

 

If you're waffling between the two, 6112/5160s, hands down. I did mine right at 50k miles. I'm almost at 10k past that now.

They're firm and sporty, but they take a hard hit and rebound with supernatural grace. For a 95% road / 5% dirt, it's a fantastic ride. Very much an improvement over stock.

 

Really depends. I put the 5100s on after only 800 miles on my new truck. The bigger 265s are heavier and I didn't like the feel of the stock Hitachi shocks.

 

I went with the 5160/ 6112 with 265 tires. I've had them on for about 10k miles and like them so far. they're a little firmer than the stock SR5 suspension but still soft enough to where daily driving isn't unbearable.

 

Nicely fitted out truck, I would probably keep it reserved and low key.

 

Can you talk a bit more about this? What does it do for the truck?

Just trying to learn, I have a 2012 2.7

Thanks
