bj spacers, sliders, or shocks?

i'm having a tough time deciding between the three. i can only afford one of the three so help me decide. i'm not getting 33's for a pretty good while and the trails around here wont give me any rocker damage, so i'm kinda stuck. which would you get? and i already have 901's in the back on stock shocks, should i just get the OME N72F shocks? go with sliders since i'm not getting larger tires anytime soon? or get bj spacers for added travel up front? (they will be on stock shocks tho)

Sliders.

Armor first, gears/lockers next, tires when they wear out, and lift after you've wheeled the crap out of it and KNOW if you are only gonna need a mild lift, or if you will need long travel or SAS.

Sliders or tubular bumper/s. Best to protect yourself whether it be on or off the road than to get something new when you might have to get something different later. If you do a lift you're gonna need new shocks anyways, and if you ever do a sas you'll never need those bj spacers anyways. Just my thoughts. Do what ever floats your boat the best.

Sliders....banging up you rocker panels with no lift is no fun. Next would be BJ spacers and front shocks.

i agree. one of the best things i've done for my truck sense i've lifted it was put on new shocks. it handles so much better now. its like night and day.

sliders, wouldnt you hate it if something or some little ricer slammed into the side of you and you werent able to open or close it? OR if you found a new trail with an obstacle that just totally trashes the crap outta your rockers/doors? protection...
