    Most offroad bumpers will help fitting 35’s.

    Suspension, wheels and tires, sliders, skids, then bumpers. If you’re getting bumpers and/or winch, be sure to plan for the weight when you get your suspension.

    Well trucks already black haha, I think I'll just start off with the basics. Save up the cash and buy all the skid plates I can and some sliders. I guess after that I'll just see what my truck can do. Wont know what I need until I need it

    I've been trying to figure out what kind of build I really want. I guess ideally I'd like to be able to drive around where I live. (Upstate ny) and park it in the middle of a river and fly fish off my tailgate. I dont think I would wanna take it through anything too extreme since it's my daily driver

    Welcome! That is a good bumper. Makes fitting larger tires a breeze.

    Yep, this. I did protection before suspension. But I'm high challenge. If you're gonna park in a river, you better first do the rear diff relocation mod. :thumbsup:

    I'll definitely have to look into doing that diy rear breather mod. Any possible setbacks from that? I'm definitely mechanically challenged so just kinda learning as I go along.

    Same here with the mechanically challenged part; mod was easy enough that I could do it LOL

    No setbacks so far

    Yeah, it's easy if you relocate to the rear taillight area. I tried putting it up high in a bedside near the cab and basically just messed around with zip-ties for hours. When I do it on my other truck, I'll probably just go with that taillight area.
