    doesnt matter if i learn the hard way or not, its something i wanna attempt to do since i havent seen anyone else do it and see what happens. if its hard to tune then so be it. make me more experienced in different ways of tuning the rear. the moving parts dont bug me. if its not as good offroad as a traditional set up i could care less. truck doesnt see dirt every other day or weekend. maybe 2 times a month and it does what i want it to everytime. its not a trophy truck so i dont care if im getting every bit of potential out of what im planning on doing. its a fun truck to try new things and see what happens, its been in the stocker, stance phase, almost sas, drop bracket, and now Lt. shocks getting stolen isnt a problem i already have it covered. if i had a traditional set up or not id still have to get new shocks and remove the traditional set up.. i have the funds if i need to go that route but i plan on making everything in house, you know, extra cool points. theres no shops in new mexico besides the mall crawler jeep bolt on places. id rather a shop not do it cause i wanna learn and build my truck. not drop it off and then magically be done when i come back (no prob with that, just not what i want to do) time isnt a biggie to me, im very patient about things, we have cars that took years to build. not saying this will be that case but i know it all too well. i do agree with the canti good list, its all about looking cool, pullin bitches, and making it usless in the end isnt it? haha like i said if it doesnt work as i have it drawn out ill just go traditional, no harm no foul, just some material wasted but at least i tried it.

    It seems like your set on doing canti so why come on here and ask what others think? Do what you want, but why waste other guys time by asking for an opinion and then saying fuck you I'm doing it anyways

    I would run the F-67s or the E-30 pack. I run the E-30 pack and have no bed, two spares, and a race jack but actually have up travel. I rode way too low when I ran the F67 pack.

    This right here should be enough to just stop thinking and just drive it as it is. Seriously. Just enjoy it. I think your current setup is the most versatile simple and fun setup our trucks can have period.

    ...too much shit to list.
    Took a hiatus, was not disappointed.
    F55's are worthless. F67's are a terrible idea unless you have a single cab and no bed. I promise you, you won't be stink bug. But if form is your primary concern...methinks you might want to reconsider the sport you are in. With leaf springs you want all the uptravel you can get. Regardless, with F67s it will be the opposite (as long as you set up shackle location correctly for travel and load). And if you get F67's, a month later you will be in here bitching about how you keep hitting your bumps on speed bumps and cigarette butts.
    I love TC, but bent their 12" shackles in less than 2 years. Make your own or recruit someone who can build you some.
    And canti setups blow ISIS love toys.

    oh i will! i think ill get more time this semester so i plan on using it more. im just thinking out ahead of what i wanna do with the truck, no doubt i appreciate your guys input on it! i took it around the industrial area today, broke some locks and hit the concrete arroyos and had a blast. im not gonna tear it apart for a long long time. i need to trim the front fenders a little but thats it. i plan on doing the rear in august/sept.
