I will be putting this stuff on my truck this summer, along with some 33's. Is there anything else i would need? Also whats good to add to it suspension wise? I wanna stick with a 4" lift. Thanks guys.

btw, im addicted to this forum. <3
 
Be aware that the lift u linked there does not come with shocks.

You may want to do a bodylift, especailly if u want to clear 33s. Not exactly sure what lift for what tires, but i remember being told i would have a hard time with my 89 with just 4" of lift. I am planning on getting a 4" susp lift installed(thinking of rear springs since i need 4" rear lift now), then a 3" bl and run 33s. I bought a James Duff 4" lift for the front off a guy on here, so i just need something for the rear, brake lines, and shocks now.

Let us know how those flares look ;)

I know, im not sure what kind of Shocks to get...
Pry after I do the Suspension Lift ill do a Body, how high do you think the body lift should be?
Will do, I will on be purchasing 2 flares for the front though, im having a custom truck bed made this summer. :icon_welder:
 
Well a winch is nice to have so is on board air and an on board welder. Rock sliders, not nurf bars. Roll cage, not a roll bar, a full cage. A good spotter to help when the pucker factor is high. Hilift jack, full size spare, a spare ujoint or two, maybe a spare axle shaft, tools, liquids. Shovel, ax, fire extinguisher, first aid kit. Extra fuel(jerry cans). Someone to call if you're stuck or broke, that can get you out.

The list can go on and on. Iv gone with everything I listed and none of it. You have to decide what you need. Some places require you to carry a shovel, ax, fire extinguisher, first aid kit.

I understand the tools and wench and welder, on boardair, and all of that stuff. Im talking more like good stuff for my suspension. I want to build somewhat of a crawler but still have on road capabilities.

Well you said
For some offroading..
You didn't say anything about suspension, goddamnit.:thefinger:

Good shocks. Rancho 9000 are nice. Might want to look into extended radius arms. Quick disconnects for your sway bars. Drop pitman arm to correct the steering geometry. Maybe a steering stabilizer.

If you're ever wheeling in Cali, hit me up. I'll come play.:icon_cheers:

Im just going with skyjacker for the shocks. I hear nitros are nice :P

Nice, ill pry talk to the guys at Summit Racing or on Reno4x4.com Considering alot of people around here wheel and they all should know what shocks are good for around here.

Trust me, I can play.:D

I have no idea, try summit. Skyjacker makes extended radius arms and so does James Duff. I'm not running sway bars, and I got my stabilizer from 4 Wheel Parts.

Just Imagine the Ford Raptor Mini, Thats gonna be my truck. (: but yeah if, no not if, WHEN i come to Cali we will play. (: I live in Reno Nevada.

Alright.. Thanks.
 
first, you need to figure out what axles you have.

for the lift, you need a drop pitman arm, if you want it to be a crawler you need to get some extended radius arms or you wont flex for shit. you'll also need something to lift the rear. the cheapest way is blocks, but again, no flex there plus you'll add axle wrap. if you want flex, get lifted leaf springs....oh and extended brake lines will also be needed.

you could probably run 35's with a 4 inch lift and the bushwacker flares

you're way over paying for those manual hubs as well, you can get them used on here for less than $100 shipped to your door.
