What would you do if you have 2,000 to spend on mods? The only thing I have is a 2.5" Skyjacker lift. I am by no means a hardcore wheeler (obviously). I want it to look tough and be able to handle a easy to moderate trail.

What would you buy? I'm new and would appreciate the insight. At a minimum I want a leveling kit to kill that rake.

Cheers!

You already have wheels and bigger tires? Because that will eat up a huge chunk of your $2000 budget. If you get larger tires it's always a good idea to get the EVO C2 gussets, maybe even the LCA skids as well. And I would say a new rear bumper or tire carrier to handle the larger spare, unless you stick only with 33s. Good luck on decisions, wish I had that problem, that could buy me some gears, maybe lockers, etc....

Planman,

Thank you for taking the time and thought to detail a list for me. I currently have 18" wheels and Summitt "Mud Dawg" tires (275/65/18).

Everyone's input is appreciated. I love this forum.

Kevin

Planman,

My spare tire on the tailgate rattles and drives me nuts! I need a tire carrier, I will check the For Sale section. Thanks for the heads up on that.

Kevin
