^^agree...but id suggest if you dont want to do much is a nice suspension to get rid of the 4x4 and get the 05-06 wheels...if you want some added power go with an intake, race header and k pro period!. id say thats a good dd setup

I used to have them. They drop pretty low. There were two versions of the type 2's. The first one (which is discontinued) rode pretty nice to me. The current version type 2's rides like *** to me haha. Maybe consider progress coilovers! Their pretty good cuz i have them

Progress coils is $900 bnib. It's a lil hard to get a hold of since alot of ppl want it. You gotta reuse ur stock top hats tho. You can also look for used suspention. Some good stuff you can find out there! Anyway good luck!
