1. lift suspension (suggest looking at 2 inch kit from Dobinson's) good quality, fair price and excellent ride
2. 1 inch coil spring spacers ( www.rocky-road.com price for front and rear total is just over $40 U.S.)
3. Winch bumper (ARB makes a great one and so does ORA)
4. Winch (suggest 9500 pound, strong enough for whatever)
5. A/T tires
6. Off-road lights (you might check LightForce from Austrailia, light weight and super tough)

31's, gearing, locker done!!! :laugh: Jokes!!!

But build the car to what you drive. I have built my car to suit the terrain i drive. At first that was a 80mm lift, 235's on offset rims, but as i started driving harder thing i built the car bigger, it's now got a 4" lift, 31's, gear's and a locker on the way.

So what i'm trying to say is doesn't really matter what we tell you, lift it, lock etc....that might suit us...but it might not suit you...so what sort of terrain to you manly drive? rock? mud?

Is the car a daily driven car? do you need a big lift and big tyre's?

And as others have said go half has wide as what you go high ;) make's for a very stable truck ....
