I'd say remove your front/rear sway bars or install disconnects. After that, front and rear lockers...you don't need sliders unless you'll be going rock crawling or will be sliding sideways into trees, but for that, you'd already need to have lockers anyway.

Depends on your preference. Do you want to go further or you want to protect your truck? With a locker and bigger tires you might need to upgrade your axles.

After the lift and tires on my truck I would say I would say my winch/front bumper get the most use or my gas tank skid plate, that thing has saved me a couple times as well.

I personally think rock sliders would be good I'm always bottoming out coming over humps, those fiberglass rockers have taken a beating.

Diff protection first after that sliders, bumpers, winch,etc...... Axles are always a good upgrade so are lockers, but Id sooner protect what I have first.

THANK YOU SPIKE!!!

The single best thing you can do for your Disco is to make sure you are driving it correctly.

I have seen a LOT of really well built trucks upside down - not because they didn't bolt enough crap on, but because they drove like a complete mindless @$$hole....
