Anything can be upgraded. Atlas t-cases are amazing. they make doubler kits. Id say chromoly axle shafts would be an upgrade. Hydro steering is a nice setup but gotta have a permit to run it on the street. Traction bars are a must if you plan on alot of torque.

Id say delete all the blocks and have it custom leaf packs. It will take about 15-17" of lift to clear 41's but id go alittle taller incase you want 44's some day.

If the frame hasnt been boxed in id say that would be a must.



4 Link would be alot nicer and may be the road i go with this but if the money comes into play then it will be the leaf springs. So well play that one out. Right now it just seems like so much trying to squeeze into me and trying to learn at the same time with this as well. Hopefully i can get a hold of some good custom shops around here or even if i have to drive somewhere to get this done thats fine. If you guys could help me out with that too that would be great. Now hyrdo steering is that alot to run that setup? How would i go along in getting a permit for that? What do you mean by deleting all blocks? The rear stock blocks in the back? The more knowledge i have about this will be better when i start calling Custom Shops tomorrow and talking to with about what i want. Sorry if im asking a lot of questions i just want to know exactly everything im going to need to do in order for this too turn out into one of the best investments i have made by throwing so much money into it as well.
