hey, welcome to the forums,

what kind of vehicle do you have? truck? jeep?

what kind of off-roading are you going to be doing, desert? rock crawling?

what is your budget for your vehicle?

try and answer these questions so we can get a better idea of what you need to know

It will more than likely be a truck I start from, I will be building it for the desert and my budget will be cheap... very cheap.

well if your budget is going to be as cheap as possible... the first thing that i recommend to do is get new tires. Suspension is going to be the most expensive modifications that you will likely be doing so if you want to wait on that i can suggest to get new tires so you can at least get a little bit of traction in the dirt. But really the best thing to do is put in a front and rear suspension. There are many companies out there with different kinds of suspension and long travel kit. You can check out camburg, donahoe, total chaos, ect. for suspension projects. I recommend the BFGoodrich all terrain tires too for the first set that you are going to be putting on your truck. Have you bought a truck yet? If so what kind?
