Sbechtold, I have exactly the same equipment including same winch and bumper. Let me know what you think of those heavier front coils please, mine is not sagging dramatically, however hav'nt added the "Under-iron" yet. I would have it armored by now if the world would catch up and make some decent functional skids. Every time I call all these world famous gear joints and say "Skid plate", they just start to stutter and tell me stories that you used to see on Startrek.

Will do. I'm hoping that new springs will hold the front end up a little better.
I have a Donahoe front/ToyTec-OME (which will be ToyTec-Bilstein on Tuesday) rear, and it handles like a sports car. Well, maybe not exactly like a sports car, but it handles light years better than stock.
It seems like the logical lift to go for is the toytec unless you have boookooos of money, then go for the donahoe. I also noticed that skyjacker came out with a lift as well with three different setups. The price seems pretty good too. It looks like they have a just a spacer setup package, a strut replacement package, and a full on coilover setup package.
If you read through alot of these posts, you'll see people are changing the front springs over and over in an attempt to get a good match to their ride expectations and equipment changes. Had they invested in a set of Donahoe Coilovers to start, they would have a system that could compensate for load change, ride change tire weight change, all while providing a superior street ride and vastly better off-road performance. And in the end they've spent the same, if not more money by buying and swapping out components multiple times(not to mention the amount of downtime involved). If you are going to be modifying your vehicle, it is sometimes cheaper in the long run to buy the better, more expensive, components first, IMHO.

I concur 100 percent DR on the front is the best solution, I did a set of OME 896 Rears they are almost perfect but need to be 1 inch longer to allow for longer shocks, so will be having a set made custom for the rear.

Finally got the Rough Country lift installed. Still take corners pretty fast for a SUV and it really does feel much like stock. If you're not familiar with them, they use a spacer above the strut for the fronts and replace the rear springs/shocks. I haven't even gotten an alignment yet, but it feels good.
