Thanks for the input everyone, I really appreciate it. Here’s a small update:
1) I have ordered the Rough country 3.5” kit with the front struts and upgraded V2 mono tube rear shocks. Ordered through my shop, parts, labor and alignment: $1500.
2) Gibson has shipped my cat back system. Should be here Friday
