    I don't think it's an opinion. Mid travel implies having more travel then stock while using stock length a-arms in the front and stock length springs on the back. You don't have to relocate your rear shocks as you can run a 10" shock in the stock mount

    Hoping to get a little bit of educating regarding the Deaver J66 pack. I understand this pack has some mixed reviews and I've gathered that much of the disappointment with these springs is that the end user had chosen a spring that was not matched for the intended use.

    I understand this pack is meant for little to no additional weight, increasing the wheel travel, and reducing axle wrap. What would be the ideal use of these springs and how would (or.. should!) your shocks be setup for them to be a viable option? I've seen DSM mention that even the standard bolt-on King's aren't ideal.. What does it take to "properly" run these?

    Another update for the definition of 'Mid Travel': must make at least one Race Truck noise. Squeak, thump, rattle, etc.

    I 2nd this! I think ive finally got over all of the noises my lowers and Heimed uppers make. Even though ive found the perfect lube to keep them not as noisy, its still there.

    After using both the Triflow spray and drip ive now found Bell Molylube spray. This stuff coats and last much longer than triflow. Ive had no issues with dirt sticking to it also.
