Welcome to Texas Folks

[SamSter0077]

I need help deciding.. would you... (talking about my 97 runner here..) replace the stock bumper with the shrockworks bumper, lift 3" and hang on to the rugged trail 265/70/26 or.. go lift, and go up to 286/75/26 km2's with 1.25 spidertrax spacers and forget about the bumper for now. Opinions?

Long shot here but if anyone happens to see a 96ish model Silverado for sale that needs an engine/transmission pop up on CL or the like shoot me a PM with the link. Needs to be at least a 96 (no 95s or earlier) and nothing past 98.

I have to say it, forget the bumper & get the tires.

Trail armor first, skids/bumpers/sliders. Tires won't help you much when you set that heavy beast down on top of a rock that cracks your transfer case.

true, I thought you where looking at sliders also? How about skids? Shockworks is nice, but they are too proud of there shit. Lets see some pics of that bumper.

Thats sorta how I recommend you build a rig.. but I say first you need recovery gear... then armor/skids/bumpers... then lockers... lift and tires last. Why lockers before lift and tires, because lift and tires are better with a locker.. and without a locker you'll use too much skinny pedal and break shit. The recovery gear should be a given, but its amazing how many people don't have any.. or just a strap with nothing to connect it too or with.

x2! And you already have a locker installed so your good there. And don't you love the rugged fails sam? I say the armor first, it'll be cheaper in the long run. Now go find a deer to hit Sam!

 

[AlienXtx]

[Silverback]

I was actually going to ask you about that, I'm not sure what to get I have and LSD so.....

Go with a lock-rite, I know that Spartan doesn't have one for yours yet. The auto LSD has no affect on your locker options right? It is still an open carrier.
