[QUOTE="Christyle, post: 1629641, member: 38595"] I bought deavers because I planned to tow a bit here and there, but I'm not sure they're necessary right off the bat. UCAs aren't super necessary to me, how often do you see a broken UCA with a properly set up suspension? If you find a deal, sure, but I really think they're more for bling, and money can be better spent elsewhere. The rear airbump kit I got mostly for frame support, secondarily for the airbumps. If you do get it, go with the 2.0 airbumps. My 2.5 airbumps have hardly any pressure in them and are still harsh, they're just oversized. The front shocks are much more in need of replacement than the rears, the fronts just have no oil volume and heat up really quick, the rears are a little better. I'm not dying to put new rear shocks on mine, my factory ones are working decently. The Fox 3.0s with DSC I installed on the front are amazing off road. I went from a decently well built tacoma to this and have had plenty of other off road trucks in my past, and the front end is amazingly smooth and never harsh on bottoming compared to past vehicles. Pricey, but worth the money to me. Mostly though, just drive it, and get used to it. Gas, Tires and trips. A good race radio is nice for going on trips too, or even just a handheld. Makes trail and highway drive banter a lot more fun if you and your friends have them, as well as being a great safety tool. [/QUOTE]
