Hello Everyone, most of you might know me from GMT or the OS. I have been contemplating doing a lift for a while and with my front end needing some parts love I figure its time to do it. I have been lurking for a while just gathering information and plan on placing a parts order in the next week or so.

In the meantime thanks for having me.

Thanks for the welcome guys.

I have been doing some research and gearing up to purchase some new front end components. So far the list includes

Upper and Lower Ball Joints
Sway bar endlinks and bushings (front and rear)
Struts/Shocks
Hub Assemblies
Tie rod ends
new UCA bushings as well as UCA flip
new spring mounts

All this as well as installing the 2.5" lift that I picked up awhile ago. Its a bit overdue with 130k miles

Of course I will not be doing as much or as severe off roading as some of you guys, but it will give me some extra clearance.

Wheel spacers are also on the list.
