I am currently looking into getting a push bar and a roof light bar for my 85 k5. im wondering what brands are good and will fit on my truck. the only brands ive been able to find are Carr. cant find much at all in the way of push bars. any ideas?

im also looking to get a 4 or 6" lift and 35s. not sure about what brand to get, looking at Tuff Country for lift, and maybe toyo mts... except they are pretty expensive.
 
I used a brush guard from a earlier model truck, mid 70's I think, and just had to modify the 3/8" thick steel brackets a little to make it work as well as notch the front bumper in two places. I chose this one for two reasons; One is that it was free, two is that it is designed to have recovery hooks attached to it where as most aftermarket ones are just for looks. I think LMC and JCwhitney both carry lightbars and brush guards you can mount lights too.

For an inexpensive lift a friend of mine just bought a Genuine Suspension kit from 4WP. It ended up being all procomp pieces and looked like a decent kit for its price of less than $400 as it came with all new u-bolts, shocks, and bushings for the front springs. It is a 4" block kit which is fine for her as she will be getting a flip kit in the future. Make sure you buy longer brake lines too! for tires I would suggest swamper radials just due to cost.
 
for a push bar look on craigslist, I found mine on there for $30. For a Push bar i recomend one that you can bolt to the bumper as well as directly to the frame

The PA horn is a nice touch :waytogo:

I've had a few friends use the Carr light bars from JC Whitney and they have seemed to hold up well over the years.
