Excited to start building up my refreshed 2022 AT4 3.0 and would love to hear some recommendations from the group. Some of the biggest changes I plan on doing first are Tires/suspension. I plan on doing either 305’s or 35” BF Goodrich KO2’s. I’m willing to do some trimming / mud flap delete in order to make it work. Where I’m stuck is the leveling. I do know that I need to, or should replace my UCA. I’ve been looking at the Readylift kits, Rough Country and Dirt King. Looking for opinions..

I’m looking to upgrade my shocks as well. The ones that have caught my eye are the Bilstein 6112 - B8 5100’s and the Bilstein 6112 and 5160 reservoir. If I were to choose either of these, I could use the 6112’s to level the truck? But would I still need to or should I replace the UCA’s?

Another thing I’m not sure of is will this void my factory warranty?

Also interested to see if anyone has the Morimoto 4bangers? I have been looking at the NCS Combo white lights. I saw that Morimoto sells a GMC bracket with the light, but it says only till 2018 models.. any recommendations on brackets?

And the final thing, has anyone else found a replacement front bumper for the refreshed trucks!? I’m bummed that the major companies like Addictive Desert Designs, AEV, Maxpedition , ETC seem to have ZERO modifications for the refreshed models. I’ve been having a hard time finding ANY after market mods for this truck in general..

I live in the desert (sand dunes and Rocky Mountains) so any mods y’all have suggestions for, I’m all for hearing about them.

Look forward to posting pics soon!

As far as level/lifts it depends what you want to spend. Obviously kings would be ideal if cost wasn't a variable. There are other options a little cheaper like fox/elka. I chose the cheaper route to purchase 5100's front/back with .75" Cognito spacer/Cognito UCA's. My plan is to set the 5100's to .55" (2nd spot) and install the .75" (Yields 1" lift) spacer to net 1.55" over stock. As far as aftermarket bumpers there are none released to the market as of yet. The biggest issue with the 3.0 and aftermarket or the AEV bumper (AT4X) is the intercooler placement.
