Welcome - You've got everything but lower gearing!

Have any pics?

[WHITE_TRASH]

Yep Mikey's right.  Lowering your crawl ratio is by far the biggest improvement you could make.  You have no idea of just how easy it makes things seem till you have it.

it allso treats your truck much better....    when you can just ease over the rocks instead of hitting them on speed to be able to get over.

welcome  yeah lower your crawl ratio you will break alot less parts im just saving so i can get me some duel cases and you came to the right place to do it

Welcome to the board newbie  sonds like it on it's way , what kind of lift are you running ? And post some pics

[offroadmission]

the lift was on the rig when i bought it as was the gears and rear locker. i dont know for sure what brand of lift it is, all i know is that it flexes pretty well for an over-the-counter lift. the rear is now sagging substantially so i am looking into some options to lift it. also i want to run 35" tires with this truck. please any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

[84runner]

Is it running lift shackles in the rear yet ? And what type of 35's are you looking for ?

[offroadmission]

no lift shackles yet and i wanna get 35 mtr

[BigMike]

With those larger tires and only 44:1 final drive (3.93x2.28x4.88) your just begging for some lower gearing!!!!

(that's my suggestion )

[84runner]

Well you should be able to get some 2 inch lift shackles from just about any 4 wheel drive store, and I know 4 wheel parts wholesalers usual has then on the shelf.

go down to nappa they have an elcheapo shackle lift for like 20 bucks and there adjustable i think you will only get about 1 1/2 in of lift out of them though
