Stage 2 has coilovers (a lot more expensive). Stage 1 has just shocks for the front and a bigger block for the rear.

And from what I understand, you can't put a winch on a bull bar

If you plan on taking this thing off road i would pass on the stage1 pro comp. Check out the 4in rancho, probabaly my favorite lift out there. Perfect height IMO, wish i could downgrade to it.

What color is your truck? IS it black or blue, the pics are a little washed out and i cant tell colors that great to begin with

^he has a $3k budget... the Stage 2 would eat up more than half I would think. But yeah, I agree... do it right the first time, or don't do it at all lol.

Hmm, I thought it was green... haha

Bull Bars do nothing for you past looks. If you don't want a full bumper replacement (which will be the best way to mount a winch and a whitetail killing machine) then get a ranchhand brush guard. Lift rims and tires are going to run you more in the 4-5k range but are well worth the costs especially if is not your DD.

lol green and tan king ranch package. they usually have that setup, or its maroon and tan. id say save as much as you can, get a good brush guard (i think in functionality as well as looks), nice winch setup, tint your tails ( i personally dont find any LED tails i like), get the recon third brake light, paint the wheels black but keep the King Ranch Rolling W still tan (better color scheme IMO), i have Hankook Muds on my truck and love them. Run your suspension as far as itll go if the truck is going to be a weekend warrior. if you paid that cheap on the truck, then why not continue saving more money for better things, such as audio? Like Raider said, it gets pricey QUICK. thats why i havent done my audio yet....not enough for the massive setup i want

I was looking at the road armor set up and that looks pretty crazy and can take out whatever you can think of. Ill be in Va this summer so is going to be way different than nm. Ill actually see real mud and rain. Yeah my truck is green tan. Ill get better pictures when i find my camera and not using my phone. I was thinking about the 4in lift from pro comp or rancho. ill look into both.
