rock some 33s with some glass fenders and bed side.
shocks in the rear wont be as much as you priced, unless you are 4 linking it and going coil overs.

There are some things that could wait. I would go ahead and get the hydro bump stop holder but prally wound't buy them yet. Then I can wait on the seats and 5 point. Also could wait on rear glass. After googling some info alot of ppl do not even run rear glass. I am also thinking of black rims too

Also don't forget a roll cage, or steel for it. You will need that seats and harnesses. Harnesses are flat dangerous with out one.
And installation expense. Gonna Pay someone to install it all? Or do it yourself? Do it yourself you will need consumables and probably bolts/nuts/washers, all the little nickel and dime stuff that adds up fast. Figure another $200 for that.
Limit straps run closer to $40 Each these days.
Your getting closer. I can tell you from experiance though... take whatever amount you plan on spending and double it. That is what it will actually cost you

Like zach said above. I will prally get the front first get it dialed in then buy the rear. Roll cage and seat will wait until I get everything dialed in.
"And installation expense. Gonna Pay someone to install it all? Or do it yourself?"
This will all be done by my self, with the help of friends of course.

Yup, not sure what I am going to do. Hell I may never go to 4 link. But then again if I where to ever snap anything in the rear it would be a good excuse

I will do my front first...get it out of the shop drive it down the roads get it all dialed in then start on the rear. I would deffently make sure to get the rear done before any major wheeling would occur
