Tough. Not sure you go wrong. Me personally would lean toward 1 or 3.

I was thinking 3 so that I could complete a project but if I can get the assist at a good price that would be amazing.

Over the weekend I sold a couple of parts I had around the garage to help fund my next project and well... I'm not sure on which project to work on next.

1) Currie Tie Rod (not needed yet but I would like to replace my stock tie rod either before or during the install of a ram assist).
2) Just continue saving towards the purchase of PSC assist kit.
3) Dynatrac progrip brake system.

I'm at a similar point too. But while I'd love to have the PSC kit, I really need the brakes. I'm sure you see more dirt than I do though, but I've had too many close calls trying to come to a stop.

What's that saying, safety third?

I should add one more project option to the list...
4) Regear to 5:13, I'm currently running 4:10's

Definitely option 4. It will be money well spent. You could also save a bunch and go with a synergy tierod. Been pretty happy with mine so far with hydrosteer. It's half the price. Looking good by the way!

Great looking rig!

Thank you!

I feel each option is money well spent just not 100% sure how to prioritize them. I'm thinking gears, brakes, tie rod, ram assist and somewhere between them I'll need new tires. Lol

Not yet. I'm torn, now leaning towards starting with the progrips. Wish a few more people would chime in with their experience. I'm not sure if it's all that important what order I complete it in at this stage. I'd like to place an order tomorrow, we'll see.

Or you wish you had more money so you didn't have to choose. LOL.

I would regear first, then brakes, followed buy the tiered and psc system at the same time

^^^^^ that's a great order. Gears before brakes. :thumbup:

Yes! For sure but not an option.

That's two for regear first. Thanks!

Thanks for your help! I've been meaning to do it for awhile now but sort of forgot about it. ORE has a great deal and I'm looking forward to the change.

Yeah, but what's next. Lol[emoji6].

You'll appreciate having gearing/shifting appropriate for the tires. Ore did a great job on mine. [emoji106]

Right! You get it. Lol [emoji2]

I think so too and they have the best deal around with quality second to none.

Did you ever get your sport cage installed I don't remember seeing it?
