A mild (fautz motorsports) to wild (KHC) slot delete kit and maybe some better rear shackles is all I would suggest.

I’d hit up Jeff over at SVC and see who he’recommend for the install.
I had everything done that you’re going for…. Couldn’t be happier.

I'm in Vegas and took mine to SVC. Add tie rods as well. I also did InterCooler and Front and rear bumper. They will also do 37" tire trimming for you. It's worth it to have them do it, just expect a wait

Been doing some shopping and came up with a few things. Whats everyones thoughts on the Icon stuff? Front arms, rear springs and their nice looking bump kit? After reading their site about the engineering of their rear bump kit, I completely understand their thought process, and am now leaning that way. Im still open to other ideas? Any insight is greatly appreciated.
Oh also, I will do the slot delete on the lower arms, along with gusseting of the l/r upper shock mount. Im leaving the tie rods alone. Im thinking I would rather have a tie rod bend vs our very expensive steering rack, and we all know some guys here have had issues with the stock steering rack.

I have icon UCA’s and they have been fine. the mechanic at the alignment shop I went to, let me help him and he mentioned how nice it was to not have to remove any bolts to make adjustments.

Update; I went with Icon upper Arms, rear springs, bumps and the Fox 3.0 Live valve shocks. Love it love it love it!!! I cant believe how well this thing handles in every situation on and off. This thing is amazing and I wish I would have done this years ago. First trip off road I was amazed...Thanks for all the insight.

Here ya go! lol Been busy getting seat time enjoying this thing. Went out today. For the first time I set the front shocks dial on the shock to max form and put the truck into Baja mode. I was running thru three foot deep triple and double rollers at 52 mph and the ride was 100% smoother and more controlled compared to the OEM Fox live valves. Today with the bed being empty, i ran the adjuster on the rear foxes on the softest setting. The rear of the truck was so smooth, it was barely noticeable. I could hear the rear bumps clacking from time to time. When I reached the end of the road, I climbed out to take stock. Looking at the picture of the rear bumps tells me I was running a perfect speed. It only used half of the rear bump, which im my mind, gives me a little more travel for that Oh **** jump, bump, or dip that tends20210828_132631.jpg20210828_094226.jpg20210828_094207.jpg20210819_120235.jpg20210819_115400 - Copy.jpg to sneak up on you.
