Hello all!
I know we have a few other club members who own 3rd gens and I wanted to say hello and ask for some help. Just picked this truck up all the way out in CO, it's got just over 200k miles, 5 spd with e-locker and in pretty decent shape.
I'd like to do a full baseline on it. I ordered a new icon suspension setup for it and would like to ask your recommendations for what all additional bits and pieces to replace while the suspension work is being done. Here's the list so far, but please let me know what else i should add, and bonus points for a recommendation for where to purchase at a decent price!:
