Modifications:
Suspension & Steering
- Teraflex 4.5" ST4 suspension system
- We had to order all the bits included in this kit separately, made the following changes from the stock kit:
- The front sway bar disco kit was not great, and with Motobilt Tomahawk bumper decided to go with front Anti-Rock.
- The new rear sway bar kit was backordered. Going with Anti-Rock instead since it'll mate better with the front... its like 2x the price tho
- We had to order all the bits included in this kit separately, made the following changes from the stock kit:
- Teraflex Alpine IR long arm and bracket kit

- Ram mount rail and the...
- xgrip for cell phone
- Swivel mount for action cam
- 3W all weather floor mats. Fit perfectly I'm pretty happy with em.
Tyger 3 panel fold up tonneau cover. Cheap but its something to cover stuff until...I get a Smartcap (backordered)- GoRhino XRS Rack - got a deal on the XRS rack should be good enough for storage needs saved over $2500 not going Smartcap buy more parts!
$2.99 Harbor Freight 1lb rubber mallet to get sway bars links on and off.Went antirocks... when it comes to disconnects I am not a fan- DV8 tire carrier. So I can carry my full size spare. Also doing 5 tire rotation nice to have them all handy.
