    Solo has my vote over TC race kit simply because it's 300$ cheaper and I believe axles are close to the same cost for both kits

    I do like the heimed steering option but Im not seeing extended front brake lines in their kit.

    Dakota does and I will be for a few months. Nothing wrong with doing that. Just to give you a price idea, for a TC race kit, Kings and TC extended axles its about $5000

    I'm sure someone is. But you will be surprised how well the stock gears run 35's. Yes I'm going to upgrade them with front locker but there is a few other things that I want to do first

    It really depends on the terrain. Mine did fine in 4hi. The only time I have put it in 4lo is when I needed the locker

    4 low also keeps your temps down if you are climbing a lot, thats why I use it a lot.

    You need LT as well :D price it all out and you'll see it isn't that much more.. maybe compared to DK its a bit more but when I compared it to TC stock length stuff it wasn't.

    Yeah I use it every time I go no matter how hard the terrain. Takes a lot of stress off your transmission

    He ruined it. I changed my mind about 2 weeks ago but haven't told or said anything about it. Just giving small hints lol. But yea I'm going to go LT. Do it right first time. May still go DK bc its a little less than TC
