    Don't get the 2.5's you'll need less BS to not rub. Plus do you really need 2.5's? I've worked the shit out of my 2.0's and they have handled it perfectly.

    I did, with resi to match the front :) My ocd can live with 2.0's in the back but i'd be mad if they didn't have resi's to match the front Kings.

    Yea that's what I plan on doing. Gonna do long travel upfront me thinks. What # coil do you have? I plan on putting a bumper upfront and rear so I'm curious. People have said 650 or 700.

    I thought about LT but price has hit me and I have to many other hobbies to fund.. Plus after seeing how many times Dakota has torn apart his front suspension (6 times in 4 months) just to tighten his LCA uniball and find a clunk. Plus you have a higher chance of tearing CV boots with LT, he tore one the second time we went wheeling with his LT. I can still run 35's on stock length suspension.

    Im going 700lb coils I have all steel full armor so I need it.

    Well if you are going LT its different than MT for spring rate. If you have full steel armor then go 700, aluminum skids go 650

    Yea have to look more into it because I would upgrade the boots and stuff to make it more durable. But I'd prefer the travel aspect of it so well see

    The boots aren't any different than normal CV boots, just everything is more exposed to branches, rocks etc.. to tear. There is a reason people in the LT BS thread talk about having a separate daily driver if you go LT...
