Just wanted to say thanks for all the info you guys have compiled here. I have a 2002 TB that I plan on using for family trips, trails, and whatever else comes my way. I'm ordering The Lift Meister 3" New Lift today along with Bilstein HD's for the front, Z71 springs in the rear with Skyjacker 8030's. Just got my Powerstop brake and rotors in and will be installing those today. I've seen a lot of the lifted TB's on here and I can already tell that even though I will be posting my before and after pic, I will probably never be "done" with this vehicle. Thanks aga in for this forum and feel free to offer any advice.

I will definitely be taking my TB out to playing so after it is lifted I'm going to be looking for some skid plates or maybe even have my brother fab some up. I do have 1 question, if I run the stock springs in the rear for now, should I just get matching Bilstein HD's for the rear? I plan on an 8.6 or better upgrade for the rear so I may wait for the Z71 springs then. What do you guys think? Oh, and the brake job went terrible, wrong stuff for the rear so I have to wait till Monday to call and get the right parts. Anyone else running Powerstop pads and rotors? If so maybe someone has a pics and maybe number of the rear...
