EFS 3" lift kit - totally off the shelf
Dropped draglink, adj torque rod & tail shaft spacer
2" body lift, 2" engine lift & 2" crossmember lift for t-case
4.88:1 diff gears with twin lockers
35" tyres
Bull bar, sliders, shorten tray

And drive LOTS!!!!!!!!


If it was me personally however, I would do all the above minus the 3" lift.
Personally, id rather spend the suspension money on hi-steer then do RUF, shock hoop, cut gaurds etc

I second Brooksy comment....

Forget spending the money on accessories... Spend it on fuel and time with others learning how to drive...

The most basic stock vehicle can out drive the mosted modded truck my a good driver....

Learn your vehicle and how to drive it, only once the vehicle (not the driver) becomes the limiting factor will you need to upgrade, and by then you will know what is limiting you.
