new 2014 trail build, I have some questions

[joshuajr057]

So I'm new to 4 runners and had some questions. I know this has to be the best place to ask.

I want to level the front for now. I have debated a set of bilstein 5100 but wanted to get on here and ask what everyone else would do for the best starting out mods for my truck

Basically I wanted to level, rock sliders, and some more aggressive tires.

Not a bad place to start. It's how I got going... one thing led to another... Spend some time hanging around here, look at what you like, don't like and get a great idea of what you want out of your rig and it will lead you down the correct path.

I read a thread a few days ago in this forum about just adding spacers to level it out.

Do a scroll through the threads.

I would prefer not using spacers. Had a rubicon with some issues due to spacers.

Can I run a locker on the front even though I have atrac and crawl control?

What are considered the more necessary mods?

Also I have kdss , will that be an issue?

I did the Bilstein leveling kit with all 4 shocks. Fronts are set at 1.75", rear is stock height, and it gave it an ever so slight nose up attitude with a couple hundred pounds of work gear loaded in the back. I have kind of gotten attached to the stance. I then mounted a set of 265/70-17 AT tires on a set of 17x8 wheels with a 4 1/2" offset. This pulled the outer sidewalls out 3/4" to better fill the fender flares. I've been to 2 different ORV parks since then and can go over any level 1 or 2, and most level 3 trails. I just bought a set of Shrokworks rock sliders and those will help some on a couple of trails I opted out of. But if I decide to get any harder on mine I'm going to have to add a full skid set. Or lift it more which I really don't care to do since it's my daily driver. I like to play but I don't want to get all hardcore about it.
