OK what do you guys think? I am supposed to be getting my return check early next week and I will be placing the orders.
Iron Rock critical path long arm upgrade - I know not the best known and they use a 3 link set up but I am going to give it a shot and try it out. Everyone who owns their stuff realy likes it and at $599 for the kit I think its workth trying.
Some sort of double shear track bar and drop bracket. Iron rock, Rustys and RE all make them about the same price too.
Toss up between the DT8000 and the bilstein 5150's for the front. Kinda comes down to how much I have left to spend. Since I will be running 35's and from what I have read I will need to bump stop even at 6" I'm thinking to go as long on the shocks as I can since I have really long extended brake lines.
RE 5.5 springs. These seem like the best all round spring out there. Seems like people have had problems with the Rustys and Deaver are really expensive and have the highest spring rates. I still can't figure why you would want high spring rates on a rock/ trail rig??
Cheap used Marshal 35x12.5 R15's. Never heard of the brand but from what I understand they are made by Kumo. Price is right and if I get them all cut up getting my fender triming right I won't be heart broken.
760X u-joints. Swap out my 297's supposidly they are a dirrect replacement.
4.88 gears. Got the front still need to buy the set for the 8.8. Still trying to decide if I am going to do both myself or if I can find some one to set them up that doesn't charge an arm and a leg. (Speed things up so maybe I'll make it to NW fest)
So like I said thats the tenative plan. Just wanted to bounce it off of you guys. What do you think??
