Decision making time help!

[moose340]

Howdy everyone.

Well the time has come for me to start ordering parts for me build but Ive come to a crossroads and Id like some help making a decision.
Ok well my first buy is going to be a my lift and tires, hands down. Im ordering OME coils and Blistein struts for the lift terra flex bump stops and hocky pucks and for tires Im getting General Grabber AT 2, heard lots of good things about them.

So heres where Im stuck, Im on a budget right now but I have enough to go one way or another so.

#1 I wanna put some Jeepin By Al Upper A Arms and some Quick Discos for the sway bar. Pros are the Ill already be under there and have everything apart to to do it and theyll help make it just alittle better. Con is its the more expensive option.

#2 Get a better skid plat from Skid Row and Stage 2 sliders from JCR offroad.
Pro is cheaper way so Ill have alittle extra money to get something else or whatever and itll help with protection. Con Id have to take apart the front supension again to put that stuff in #1 when I get more money.

So whats your guys thoughts on this? Id like any help I can get.

Thanks:gr_grin:

What are your intentions as far as wheeling go? If you do plan to wheel, I'd go with option #2. Better armor for sure.

You might want to read into the quick-disconnects if you opt with going route #1... some people have ordered them and then didn't like them because they are quite noisy once installed. That, and you really don't gain all that much flex in the front with your front swaybar disconnected. The JBA UCA's are a good idea though.

Just some thoughts.

Thanks I forgot about the wheeling thing, well a weekend wheeler sort of thing, itll be my daily driver and a part time wheeler/hauler.

Armor first.
But, if you already have OEM skids, I'd go with the UCAs. Since you will already have it apart, it will be easier just to do it all at once and eliminate any possible issues with alignment or coil contact.

Personally, I'd skip the quick sway bar disco.

I think Jayme and Don summed it up for you!

I have to agree with you, thanks guys

Now another question.

Wheres a good place to order things from? JBA is where I planned to get most of it but do they have good prices compared to some place else?

Springs are about the same price everywhere.
Shipping rates sometimes makes a difference in the final cost.
I have ordered OMEs from
www.boulderbars.com
www.jeepinbyal.com
www.ok4wd.com
4x4 connection
all with good results
