Thanks for the advice. I was in between the mediums and HD's. I think I'm just going to go with that and keep the airbags in for fine tuning if needed.

My plan is to put UCA's and Radflo 2.0 extended in front, and OME HD w/ Radflo 2.0 extended in the rear w/o the remote reservoir. I need something that will give be clearance for larger tires for the fire roads and mild trails I visit.

Just put on the Wilco Hitchgate Solo, Rotopax mount+3gal fuel container, and hi-lift mounted to it.
That looks really nice and functional too!!

But yes you WILL need more than just the airbags back there as that weight will slowly compress your rear springs over time! (Even aftermarket ones)
I'm diggin the rooftop tent too!! 8)

Go with a simple 2" rancho quick lift in the front and either rancho or bilstein in the rear with the hd springs. Keep the airlift for sure for fine tuning, like you said, and you will easily get 285 75 16 in there, that will be plenty of clearance for sure.

I have a 2" and 285 75 16 Toyo all terrains. I have some videos of mine in some pretty good trails here

You realy don't need to go overboard. Radflo is crazy expensive and I would realy only go that route after living with a lift for a while as an upgrade. I know there are some that didn't like a lift and went back down again. Unless money is no object I would just hit up 4x4parts.com and go with the hd lift springs + quicklift front + some rear extended shock.

Otherwise keep up the great work man, it's looking great.

I'm coming from a D22 Frontier which I lifted (body and suspension) so no issues with living with the lift.

I got rid of the Frontier because while it met all my needs on the trail, it's towing capacity was really limited and wasn't as comfortable for longer trips. I will miss having all the room in the long bed, but nothing a small trailer can't fix.

New to the forum, thought I'd post here first :D

I've been working through the maintenance items that my new to me as of a few weeks ago Path requires, and the Duratracs were on sale this week and they were on my list of to do's already so I pulled that trigger and I'm diggin it even more now. New rubber gives me all the incentive I need to continue to address the rest of what my Path needs to get up to snuff. The previous owner apparently lost interest in maintaining this puppy, but the condition warranted a good price and I can turn a wrench so its a win for me and a win for this Path.
