    I think that truck used to be orange. That thing looked like the biggest piece of crap. Just look at the cage work. The tubes in the roof do not tie into the junctions.

    Look at the rear links. The lowers go forward and the tops to backwards. The tabs have no bracing from flexing or bending. If im thinking correctly when it goes to droop. front links will want to pull forward and the rear links will want to pull back.Its going to bind sooner or later limiting the travel and possibly breaking something

    Someone had posted a new thread on which LT kit is the best.

    I don't really think there is a "best" LT kit though I would like to hear what you guys don't like about the TC kit or engage kit?

    I have the Burg LT kit. I had caught 2 things that Camburg should have engineered better. I don't understand why they didn't use the 90 degree zerk fittings like the TC(assuming they didn't want to copy TC setup) the other thing I noticed is the UCA doesn't fit tightly around the CO tower like the TC UCA's. There are probably a few other cons about the burg kit that I have not found yet... Maybe that is a good thing... Besides that I really like my burg kit!

    The few issues I have with my TC kit is that it uses a ball joint on the lower. It should have a uni-ball. Also I can't use air bumps on it which is lame. Also since my kit is the old kit it doesn't have grease zerks but I'm going to add the this winter. Other then those small things everything else is great about it so far.
