Lockers, lift, rubber or barwork -- what's the first thing you should put on a stocker, and why?
I'd do the lift,no chances of scrubbing then and a bit more capable

umm ill say,new shocks in the rear,maybe new springs for more flex and extended shackles,bodylift is a possibility,steel tray with rollbars,and brushbars,and maybe a turbo

nope
