    You can weld the lower mounts of the shock tower set up to whatever up travel you want. Mine is set up for 4.9"

    It's not silly. One of the main reasons I did the shock tower was for custom up travel

    The exact length? Have no idea. They're long enough though. Like 3-4" over stock.

    with bamf shock towers, shackle flip, and longer shackles, I'm running the 4"+ rear lines from wheelers. full flex to full stuff is about 18" of travel and they are just long enough to work for me

    I've tossed around the idea of beefing up my MT set up all together..

    I'm not sure how to start though, or what exactly it would entail. Shackle Flip.. Defined SUA kit.. 12" King Smoothies.. TC LCAs... hell i dont know

    Yes, im very aware of the TC SUA kit. I was considering it for a short time after I bought the 14s.

    Still, very happy with the 12s now and im glad I stuck to the original plan. My OCD is satisfied knowing the rear is at its full potential with this leaf pack/shock combo. I may drop back down to the OEM shackle or Brandon said we can try to make some greasable ones that are between OEM and the 5" XJs I have.

    Or keep it tame and upgrade from Dakars to Deavers or All Pro Pack...?

    I guess the only thing the front needs is spindle gussets, and boxed lowers.

    Seems like 285s are about the happiest medium if there is a significant loss in power going to 295s.. she's a slow bitch anyways.

    I'm thinking SUA may be overkill for my use.. Granted the whole truck is overbuilt for me. I mainly want to get to back to 3-3.5" of lift.

    I just the got the truck aligned to try and get more caster to clear a bit of rubbing.

    How did they do?

    I notice that appears to say Canada on it. I'm not sure if that messed with the numbers but if I base it on our measurement system I would say it looks like they did a horrid job adjusting it.

    It looks super biased on the right for caster and will have you wandering HARD to the right.
