New underbody - tyres/wheels or suspension first?

Postby Headley on Wed Sep 10, 2014 2:15 pm

Hi guys,

My new triton is going to have some mods done to it, however i am wondering if i should do the suspension first (2" lift, coils/leafs, shocks/struts, bars etc) or get some new tyres and wheels onto it? I am thinking some A/T's for the long tarmac drives mixed with some off-roading (nothing swampy or too sandy)?

Do all your mods before you upgrade the suspension
Tyres first, They will make the biggest difference

What he said ^^. A/Ts are good for sand anyway, Less Aggressive than muddies so dont tend to dig themselves in as much.
