Yup, underbelly skids are a good option at this point. Cover as much as you can. Oh and a cheap mod you can get would be a idler-arm brace.



Next up would be better shocks. I really like my Rancho 9000x (kinda pricy, but the adjustment make them worth it). You can go for longer rears since you are installing the shackles. Remove your rear sway bar and you can make use of all the extra flex you have free-ed up.

Then I would say build the rest of your lift. You would only need a-arms, add-a-leafs, and t-bars. Don't forget a new steering system at the same time (your centerlink just won't last).
