Yeah, I think I'm going to go with the Bilsteins...I'm looking to get my truck setup with a offroad "beginners package" to include the new shocks, BFG all-terrains, some Addco front/rear sway bars and new pads/rotors/ss brake lines...

ok, tires...Go with something a little better than BFG's im my opinion. I will suggest the Toyo Open Country(lil expensive, but great tire) Nitto TerraGrappler(really nice ride and looks good) or the M/T ATZ(Micky Thompsons are the ****) I had the Baja Radial MTX and loved them. Alot of guys are suggesting these and once my Wrangler A/T's wear I am replacing them with these. Go to that site and just do a few searches.

I never went with BFG, but all the guys from my old shop ran them and the wore too quickly and didn't clean up real well after a mud run. My old Dominator Sports were pretty equivalent to these.

However, make your own decision and don't base it just on my opinion. I just want to throw more options your way.
