2 more inches of lift. This will happen in March, complete with anti-swaybar dissconnects (thanks Kumma /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif)and shackle flip (BDS suppling the lift of course. BWT will be selling my 2.5 BDS lift)

35 inch swampers. (I liked my truxus 33's so maybe)

Rear bumper/tire carrier

And if this is dreamworld a 383 with TBI.
