You'll need new shocks,get skyjacker hydros. I paid $70 per pair and they've held up to my abuse including hitting jumps,they're awesome

Alright guys I need some opinions right now. Should I buy my 3.5" lift for $325 r should I buy some aftermarket headlights and hid kit for $100 r I could save up about $150 more and go ahead and regear to 4.56s. R I could buy custom camo seat covers for $312 r start on my sound system r buy towing mirrors for $205. I just can't decide what to do first lol someone plz help

Yeah. Definitely do gears first. That's one of the most important components of having a lift and bigger tires especially since your a v6
