    37's are what we all need. I'm genuinely too lazy to build a long travel kit. I have upper arms for long travel and spindles. The only thing I would actually have to build is a lower control arm and then buy some Tundra CV's and 8" shocks. But why if my SAS is only a year or so off.

    LT makes way more sense for your application. I will eventually buy a Tacoma just to see how much 4WD travel I can pull if I build my own center mount front setup using a Supra rear diff. It'd be fun and pretty easy. My Solidworks file says roughly 24 inches.

    i calculated it out for either a +3.5 or +2 kit. I would really only be out of pocket $1500-2000 overall when i sell my set up now.

    I also like that I bought this F150 mostly to flip, yet I've only driven the 4Runner twice in the last 2 weeks.

    curse of a fullsize. This morning my neck is tight and it made me want to punch babies getting in the runner.

    Especially if you regear to 4.56. It'd be pretty fast on 37's

    I need to regear the stupid F150. Stock gear ratio is 3.55. I'm planning on running 285/75/17's. And will probably go 4.56 then
