I'm gonna order my BB today and just want to make sure I get everything I need. I'm planning on the BB with/shocks, but am starting to wonder if I should get the HD kit since I'll be adding a new front bumper in the future? Is a front track bar bracket (or adj. trackbar) needed with the BB? I'm also planning on ordering the TF steering dampener as well. Anyone have any other suggestions? Last, but not least, where should I order from? I was planning on Quadratec, but have heard some horror stories. I know well enough to call and make sure parts are in stock, but does anyone have any other recommendations? Other board vendors? Thanks everyone!

 

Northridge was good to me .

I got an adjustable front trackbar and it almost overcompensates at the 2.5 level. With the HD springs it might work well though.

 

x2 on Northridge....Dave will get you everything you need and great advice too.

 

If you are thinking about adding a bumper and winch, get the HD version. When I added the weight to the front of mine it sagged about 1.25". I wish I wouldve done the HD kit to start with.

I would hold off on a front adj trackbar until you drive it. I think you will be ok without one. If you do end up needing one, It will only take you about 30 minutes to put one on.

X4 for Northridge. David is great and knows his stuff. I've spoken with him on several instances via pm and phone and he always takes the time to answer my questions.

If I need something I order from him whenever possible. Free shipping on over $100 orders is nice too!

 

One thing to keep in mind, if you order the HD kit the springs are about 3.25" of lift and you will have a reverse rake (3/4" higher than the rear) until you put on the after market bumper and wench. Once those are on it will sit level (no rake). Also, a little later this year the TF HD kit will come with rear springs as well (if I understood correctly).
