Default What are the best and cheapest mods you can do with this?

I'm a noob when it come to leaf sprung vehicles, all I've had is coil over sprung. So, I turn to the Internet for help. I know there are a lot of upgrades out there such as bumpers, tires, wheels, etc. What should be my 1st mod or upgrades, already have the lights and 1.9 tires/wheels on it currently.

remove the internal spring in the shock, taller shock hoops and longer shocks for the front, play around with the leaf spring layout EX lowest leaf longest, then medium leaf, then shortest vs lowest leaf shortest then longest then medium, chino mod

really there is a ton of information on this forum for the TF2, drive the truck, tune to your drive style, then check out what others have done to their rigs for new ideas

https://youtu.be/znXAGxqbfG0 You can quarter elliptic the rear springs buy cutting the spring aft of the rear axle and closing up the spring eye. A ton of free flex is achieved this way

What tires do you have on there now?

And do you want to do scale driving or are you looking for all out performance?

Was looking more scale performance, not all out high performance.
