    With 2+ you mean long travel right?

    correct. with the 2+ lt youd need new lowers, new uppers, lengthened tie rods and cv's, and lt length coilovers

    Stock length are exactly that. Beefy drop in replacement of OEM lowers.

    Aaronarf came over and helped me rebuild the coilovers, revalve, and converted to ext travel. Just need to get the springs put back on. Although I think the truck is going to stay on jack stands till I get everything else lined up and taken care of.

    Easy, there no reason you should send them x-country for rebuild, except for nitrogen charge.

    Told you man! What did you reinflate to?

    +2 kit will run you some $$$ and I think the race series lowers are perfect for a MT setup. But I'm kinda biased. :)

    Stock length is what I'll go to at some point. Less stuff to deal with like axles and shit

    Man...all or nothing.
    You need UCA/LCA anyways....no brainer in my eyes.

    Agreed. I was surprised how simple the disassembly was.

    Haven't pressurized them yet but will go to 250psi. Would like to baseline off of what it was previously (assumed) since I changed some compression shims.

    Going to +2 to get matching front and rear travel. Should be F'ing happy there!

    You need all kinds of shit. Yeah axles sound like PITA at first but once done its a no brainier.

    X2, nice to have an extra set of hands to hold my shaft while I worked on the other parts.

    I mean, a tube buggy would make me happy buttttttt that's not happening anytime in the foreseeable future.

    +2 is sweet, I've had my eye on it for a couple year. Now is the time, everything else is working friggen great.

    Starting over with new uppers, lowers, COs ,axles and brake lines is a lot of monies. It would be cheaper to buy a truggy and tow it ;)

    Definitely man, I'm 99% sure he'd take you through the process too, they've got a shock dyno and everything.

    Damn! This process looks like it went fine but I'd love to meet the guy. Shocks intrigue me, especially the valve tuning portion.

    Like I said they mostly deal with road/track applications but offroad shouldn't be too far of a leap for him. If it has to do with shock tuning he's a vault of knowledge. http://www.fortune-auto.com/ is their site
