    I am starting to upgrade things on my 07 4 banger and am wondering where to start. I am currently sitting with every thing stock except a 3'' leveling kit with rear 1.5 aal

    This is what I am thinking for my setup

    1) Pelfreybilt front bumper with fog and light bar cut out

    2) Suspension: Walker Evans Front 2.5 non resi extended travel with all pro UCA and walker evans 2.0 rear

    3) Save it all for a super charger

    4) LED light bars and pods

    5) Other

    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.
    I think you would need a suspension, first.

    More power is always good!

    With the suspension will you do wheels & tires of a larger size?

    Suspension
    Tires
    Bumper
    Leds
    Intake
    Exhaust
    Header
    Supercharger


    Based on ur list

    U will need suspension to hold the bumper but u may consider ..... Tires to fill the gap........then the bumper. Small tires look bad on a lift.... Then u may have new mounting options on ur bumper for the led lighting u want......

    As ur saving money up for the large cost of the supercharger and recovering from the prior purchases, u can get smaller cheaper things like the intake, header, and exhaust which will compliment a supercharger later.

    I'd get a frame inspection and clean and undercoat the piss out of it before you do anything. Your year is next inline for frame rot issues.

    Voted for suspension first. IMO tires are the most important aspect of any vehicle. So lift it, then you can fit the tires that you want.

    I have a fresh set of cooper discoverers on it right now that the dealer put on right before I got it. I already have a plan for tires and wheels when that time comes.

    I have the walker Evans front and the all pro UCA's. You will NOT be disappointed with the Walker's. The harder you push them, the better they work it seems.

    Sweet thanks for the info. I HATE this spacer the previous owner put on it. I have what seems like 0 up travel so speed bumps are taken at 1 mph
