lift first, then evap skid while you are under there, spacers, rear bumper, front bumper, winch, and last is the rubi skid. my opinion, that order should make the process easier.

Buy some beer. Call some buddies. Do them all in one weekend. Repeat the next weekend only with ride the hell out of it replacing the wrenching.

Bumpers, winch and skids first so you can get an idea of whether additional spacers will be needed to level you front to back. Beats having to rip one end apart a second time to add them.

Then the lift, spacers and tires.

Makes sense...didn't think about needing additional spacers to level it out. Those bumpers are heavy...good tip

I agree. Add all the heavy stuff, measure, then do lift. There are lots of us around. Send us a PM if you need some help.
