Glad to see you getting the pieces picked up. I would get sliders and both bumpers from SA I can personally vouch for the rock sliders. You going for the 2" lift I would go OME HD not many choices for a 4" lift other than SL. His front wheel flares would look sweet to. I agree with the aux fuel tank I think you'll miss that option if you skipped it. Some wheels with a 5" back space or some spacers would look good. Maybe get a duel battery setup with a decent size inverter installed.
Congratulations on your new purchase, The way you got there sucks but the cool thing is at lest you know the Commander and you know what mods you really need and in which order to purchase them. When you are ready to start the build let me know and I will give you the best prices I can on Steel Armadillo and affiliate products. We have several new ones in the works as soon as the welder finishes the 6 sets of XK sliders I have ordered.

Thanks guys. I agree, the Steel Armadillo treatment. Two bumpers, sliders, maybe some additional skid plates, rear tire carrier, front wheel flares, maybe Jon can put in the Aux tanks and get one for himself at the same time. Go to school on yours and then do mine....I do not want more than a minimum lift because both the Mustang and the Commander need to fit in the new Stacker. Same limits as the old on height. I am thinking that it might be a $5,000 budget not counting wheels and tires.
Matt and all your east coasters that are sleeping...we need your ideas also. Maybe even think outside the box on items like the awning or roof system, but remember that I do not have much clearence in the Stacker
Jon, another thought. If I stay in California you might also think about doing some kind of laser cut logo on the pieces to generate some west coast sales if you do the entire set of mods. Just an idea, regular logos would work also.

Glad your getting a replacement for your XK! I have RR lift and 1.5 spacers for sale, both still new in box if your interested.
Since you got screwed with what happened I was asking 360 for both, I'll sell 'em to you for 300 plus actual shipping cost.

I would recommend a similar setup to what you had prior, but use the Old Man Emu HD coils up front this time. Stay with the Superlift rear coils for the extra weight of the rear bumper and aux fuel tank. Not that I own a Hemi, but I think you will be more than happy with your new setup. You will have the extra power now to get all that extra weight moving.

Glad you're getting re-started. I'll definitely provide some input.... just grabbing a quick read while the kids are waking up and we're heading out to the beach soon (i wish i got better service on my phone at the beach so I can read up)
Just an idea for up front... I'm dying for someone to try the KING coilovers. With everything you're adding on that would be ideal for fine tuning the ride height. You can get them custom made for 2-4" lift.
