hi all my truck is currently stock but doing some upgrades for off roading and want to make sure everything will fit together as well if you suggest doing anything else to go along side this...

method 703 17x8.5 ET 0 6x5.5
Falken AT4/W 285/70r17
Bilstein 6112s 2.5 inch level in the front + 5100s in the back
readylift crsh bar replacements

Will I need to regear? If so how much does that typically cost

1. No.
2. A lot. Besides which, I don't know if different gears are available for the front axle anyway. Just adjust the tire size in Forscan and the transmission will account for the larger tires when shifting.

I have that exact tire size (Toyo's) and suspension set up. No issues at all, did drop 2mpg from the tires though.

Ironically the non-alcoholic pictured here has more DUIs…
Apparently Tiger blew a 0.00 on the breathalyzer but he was on some painkillers.

In light of his most recent DUI I think I'd rather be associated with the Non-Damper People right now. :wink: :ninja:
should we mention a ONE PIECE DRIVE SHAFT or wait?

Rock sliders are always nice for off-roading. I'd consider them if you are building for rock crawling.
