    BTF mid travel and F79s for the rear. (ill have 5-6in of lift in the front and since our trucks come with a rake stance I have a lowering shackle ready to go that can drop to 3in to make it sit level when stationary)

    I was thinking abotu getting the camburg mid travel but it still uses the factory lower control arm and I wanted something thats got upper and lowers and spindle, longer spring than factory and a longer shock for more flex. a full on long travel costs too much too. at any time I can go back to stock components.

    Should just wait :p when my kits done we will be putting it into production. I'm sure if we can get a group buy gong it would be a lot cheaper! And it will be LT

    Are you getting a mid travel with stock buckets? Or are you going to coilovers?

    its mid with factory buckets. If need be I want to be able to return the truck to stock.

    If I were to do a mid travel and run coilovers I would be the biggest retard in the WORLD.


    a production LT would need a lot of testing dude...and thats why if I were to do it I would take my truck to camburg since I know they have done a ton of testing and have them build me a kit. then I would do my own cage etc

    Wait a few months and look at my kit. We just will have to make and adjust to a 5x135 for your kit.
