    congrats! looks great.

    now you need to start beefing up stock weak points ASAP!

    Well I would say start with the rear first, but you already pulled the trigger. Most of the older LT guys started with the front first, but there were a few that did the rear first. The front susp limited their speed and the rear soaked things up nicely which made a good smooth ride. When you do the fr first, you end up with bucking

    My advice, if you are eventually going to LT the rear, dont buy any other extra shit to bandaid the limited travel. ie: jounce bumps etc. Just save your money.

    Also look into Defined Engineering for their rear options.

    This is what happens in a small whoop section, fr and rr get a good rhythm then the rear start bucking

    Thanks for the info. I am actually trying to save up and get the rears done as well and get the gusset added too. All I gotta say is damm Mark you have one sick truck. I looked over your build and its wild Loving it. Hopfully one day I can get my truck to looks close like yours :D.

    Thanks for the compliments, been building the damn thing since 05. Youll get the rear done, just do everything in stages like everyone else. Just collect parts (shocks, bumps). You will have so much fun man.

    Hopefully I will get to wheel with you soon.

    Ive started to troll this forum since all my close buds on ttora have been victim to the economy and their LT trucks have been garaged. :rolleyes:

    I have the Hankook mt 285/70/17. I was thinking about the All pro fenders but they are kind of expensive. I found other flares that I might get instead.
