Well here`s the poor mans way to modifiy my 2003:I first started by replacing the outside mirrors with ones from a 2006...so now they fold.Replaced the air cleaner with an Airaid cleaner only,no cold intake.Bought a leveling kit piece by piece starting with Skyjacker Nitro 8000 shocks,I bought the "green" keys and 2" rear coil spring adapters.Which i got a total 4inch lift.I came across a great deal on 4 37x13.5-17`s toyo MT open country tires... get this, for FREE I traded my 35`s for them.:excited:

You should be proud of it in this day and age if you can do it yourself and save some money more power to you.:jump:
Do you have any before and after pictures of it?

Do you have a pic or part number to the coil spring adapters? I am switching from airbags to coils soon. I ordered FABTECH 6" lift coils, but would like to get a bit more rear end lift.
thanks

Looks good! Spray down the chassis with some oil to slow up the rusting ;)
