I have had car ADD lately. Been thinking about getting into a TRX or Gen 3, but think I will stick with my truck for a bit longer.

To keep my interest, I need to tinker with my truck more haha.

Truck currently has New Live Valve Shocks (with RPG deletes), eibach springs in the front and Deaver +3's in the rear with 1" drop shackles.

I do quite a bit of overland type off roading, and fast stuff when I get a chance to go out without the family.

My thoughts are, add Fox 3.0's and some UCA's to the front and a bump stop kit to the rear.

Is it foolish to not also add 3.0's to the rear as well?

Definitely need to add bumps. Also consider UCA and tie rods. Look at the UCAs before you buy, some need zero offset wheels. You have a Goosetune yet?

How is your light set ups? Do you have a bed rack with a tent? How about a few pictures so we know where you are starting from.

If I were spending your money, it would be for this:
* Fox 3.0s front and read
* SDI EClik
* Camburg UCAs
* 0 offset wheels (your choice)
* Fox bump stops
* SVC traction bars

Here are some pic. Have Zero off set wheels and just went to Cooper MT's. Lightest wheel and tire combo I could find without going full forged. I have a softopper. I call it my tactical tent. My kids call it a Bronco haha. Lighting game could be stronger but I have not felt that i am lacking.

I am goosetuned. Have exhaust, intake, etc.

If I go full 3.0 front and rear my heart would want to go King.

Go to Kings and bypass rack. King bumps. :cool:

I would look at more lighting especially if offroading at night or camping out the back.

Ditch that highlift jack and get a pro eagle or Harbor Freight badlands jack.

Do you have bed supports? Radio? Garmin GPS or equivalent?

My hope in going front only coilovers was to not spend my race car budget on the truck haha. No highlift was used in the changing of the tire. Just happned to be there with us. I do not have bed supports. Do have GPS and Sat phone.
