    DTF LT?

    You do bring up a valid point. This one looks pretty good too. My short family will wrinkle the seats in no time at all though.

    thats perfect. I like the black leather in there, may swap mine to black after seeing that. If mine was a 2wd, it would be fully LT'd by now.

    I'm not too educated on LT...what's the advantages of being 4x2 than 4x4 other than not having two axles in the front?

    You can get more wheel travel and not worry about ripping the cvs into pieces.

    It is pretty nice.

    Price of OEM axles holding you back?

    Dirt king offers their kit with machined inner CVs and a diff drop to get more travel. It's only 1/2" more though.

    that and doing the work of swapping the axles. I can swap into a +2 kit now for roughly $1600 out of pocket in the end. Also trying to find a for real need. I havent out performed my set up now, would bet i could do more with the +2 kit but then i feel i would try to push my luck. In a way not being LT is keeping my van in one piece.

    Haha @LTDSC is talking about the same thing. He just held a GB we missed out on recently. I guess he might be doing another one in the summer.

    I will attempt the pipe method and let you know how easy it is. You'll get a lot of squeaks and rattles that's for sure. I honestly went wheeling more when I had MT. When I picked up my +2 I just got so busy I never found the time to go out as much. Still am, but I guess I just like to spend money.
