Default Need Help and Ideas

Just picked up a 2008 Trail Teams, pretty much stock except for some reason the previous owner took off the roof rack. I have tons of ideas, but am having a hell of a time figuring out the specifics. pretty new to serious off-roading.

Suspension: I am thinking a 3" lift with 33's. I love the ride as it is, the trails teams has the bilstein shocks on all four, so I was thinking maybe just a body lift? But I always heard you should stay away from body lifts, plus I have been doing some research and OME seems pretty bad-ass. And what about a Stabilizer? What are your thoughts?

Engine: The 2008 isn't sport tuned, so it only has 249 hp, but it has the 4:83 gears I think (it is a 6 speed manual 4wd). It does have the TRD exhaust, which as far as I can tell goes all the way back to the cat. I was thinking intake and a snorkel, headers, short throw shifter, and maybe a chip, but again I dont know specifics. On the intake there are stage 2's and all kinds of options I dont get.

Roof Racks and Bumpers: All I know for sure is I want light weight and high ground clearance on the bumper, and aluminum on the rack, right?

So if there is anything I missed and you think I need, or you have thoughts on specific brands, please let me know. If you're in Phoenix or close by and know of any clubs to join thats cool too.

thanks,

Colin
