    Hey guys, I am currently running the Bilstein TRD Pro set up for front and back. When i installed them, my buddy had an extra set of the .5 CB shims so i through those on there too. My question is this...what other upgrades SHOULD i do running that set up? Everything rides awesome. Bump stop extensions? CB Steering Kit? UCA's? Bumper extension? (Im getting 275/70r18 KO2's soon) I want to make sure i dont ruin something if and when i do mild off-roading. I have been successfully getting it aligned with no complaints from my shop (Allen Tire).

    Thanks in advance for the advice. All input is welcome.

    Pro suspension, sways
    I did the bumper extension and the steering kit, as well as the carrier bearing drop spacers. Also a set of +3 or @Coachbuilder1 shackles to give the ass some more lift too. Some minor plastics trimming and you're good to go. I had the bump stops and removed them after one drive. They kept bottoming the suspension out prematurely, I removed them without any issues, ever. If the tire is not enormous, it will tuck in nicely. Your tire is smaller than most (33.2") for the 3" lift, so you shouldn't have any fitment issues with most wheels If you do decide to go a little bigger you won't have to redo anything. I'm running a 275/65/20 (34.2") on 20x9 +18 offset wheels, and it's perfect.

    I would say UCAs maybe.

    I would go straight to 295/70. skip the 275/70. also KO2s tend to be on the small side

    Yea I’m not ruling that out. I’m just really not sure i want to deal with the decreased acceleration, increased tire weight (even worse mpg), and strain on the rear end (From what i read). I do really like the look of the 34” tire.... but 33.2 will be mostly unnoticeable in performance loss, but a full inch taller to fill the wheel well.

    There are lighter 295/70r18 models (such as new Toyo AT3 or Cooper AT3 XLT) that are probably only 2-3 lbs heavier than the BFGs you are looking at.
