Welcome to the forum! I just left CT so you will probably never meet me, but it's good to see someone with a stock rig taking interest in being as crazy as we are. Best of luck. I recommend looking at the things we've done to ours in the Members Rig's section to get some ideas and then do what you like best. People are all going to have opinions about the parts. Your best bet is to find the most Objective ones and go from there. Everyone has their brand that they will swear by. You need to find what works for you. Basic questions are easy though. Bushwacker flares or Tubes.. Tubes if you can afford would be the obvious answer. are they necessary? absolutely not. are they bad ass? fucking a right. lol. So again, welcome! I wish you many safe wheeling trips w/ the club. They're a good group of guys/girls.
