Hello new to the site I have an '04 ls 4x4.

I have to rebuild the front end so I decided I'm going to lift it and replace practically everything I can suspension/ steering wise and throw some larger tires on it.

Welcome! Good chat on GMTnation. Sounds like you're doing a good job at planning, buying, building. Carry on! Oh, these guys would probably like the details you gave me!

Ok I've been busy reading, I gotta say with the amount of knowledge on this site I probably won't have to ask any questions to finish up this build I think I have it figured out.

Below is a rough breakdown of what will be going on my TB

Moog 81114 springs
3" Lift meister up front
Bilstein HD struts
Polyurethane bushing kit
1.5" wheel adapters
New tie rods, wheel hubs, cv axles, seals disconnect rebuild with bravada axel sleeve and new ball joints.

In the rear I'm gonna get massive adjustable Uca, lca and Panhard bar
Skyjacker C25R springs
Skyjacker N8030 shocks

I think I settled on 33s I'd like 35s but really don't have the extra cash to get a gear swap done unless I can find a 4.10 front and rear set up for next to nothing lol

That's what I have for now keep in mind this list is subject to change lol
