Welcome new mud member.
Regarding your AHC, this thread will help you out:

Regarding your baseline, Use OEM parts. When I got my 01 LX in 2017, I did a few...
My 285-75-17 KO3's needed road balancing too, still aren't perfect but 95% better than a regular balance. Didn't have any issues with 32" and 33" KO2's. Will probably jump to a different brand next time.
I'm running FN Five Star's (17x8 +30) with BFG KO3 285-75-17's. Pinch weld mod, fender liner mod and bump stop spacer mod. I'm running a 1/2" front AHC lift and 1" rear AHC lift.
How big are your tires? When I had 32's and 33's I felt like the brakes were fine. When I moved to 34's I felt like the brakes felt weak, like I had to push down a lot more to stop, sometimes making my right leg really tired on long drives. I upgraded to 03+ front calipers (which have ~1.5mm...
An old mud vendor (we won't talk about it here) made a nice one of these for the 80 series. There was suppose to be a 100 series one but from what I know, it never came to be.
Here's a post that shows the metal tweeter bracket.

Just had my wife's new car tinted and it made me think of the Viper30 tint on my 100. Anybody know the specs of this tint? I wonder what the solar/IR rejection specs are. Does anyone know how the factory bronze tint looks with a 70/80% tint on it? Thinking of putting 70/80 on all the rear...
Just did this 2003+ front caliper brake upgrade to my 2001 LX. Stock brakes felt sufficient with Load D 32's and Load C 33's. When I got Load E 34's they were no longer sufficient (my opinion, not stock weight but not a heavy build) . Night and day difference now with my 34's. I feel like I...
Installed my AHC 27mm bars yesterday. 5 spline offset is the way to go if you have bumpers/winch/belly armor at stock heights and have lots adjustment left for a sensor lift. 1 turn on each side adjusts the pressure .3 MPa. I would guess 3 or 4 offset might work if your not armored up to not...
Life got in the way and getting back to this. Did you install the bars yet? Did you offset 5? Do you have a winch? Trying to gauge your weight compared to mine since I have aluminum bumpers but have a winch and we have similar sliders/roof racks but I don't have a aux gas tank or a 2nd swing...
