    How do you like the solo kit? I'm debating on either the TC kit or the solo kit. Well if I can get solo to make a +2 kit

    Hey all, so I'm new to the whole LT scene and I'm just trying to get some opinions and thoughts regarding my situation. So to start off I live in New England and I do wheel my truck a bit with ambition to wheel it even more and it's also my DD. I currently have have 5100's front and rear with an AAL. I'm at the point where this setup isn't cutting it anymore. Now where LT comes into play is I'm not sure that LT would be right for me and how I use my truck. Like I said I do live in New England CT to be more specific and the terrain I experience is mostly big rocks, mud, sometimes both combined, but mainly dirt/gravel Rocky logging roads or class 6 roads. Now MOST people I see running LT are the desert folk where high speed and whoops are the norm, now at the very fastest I go on logging roads here is 40-50 and that's pushing it. So basically I'm wondering if LT would really benefit me or would just a nice MT set-up be the way to go ????? Any help or input is greatly appreciated.

    LT would be fun..but a nice MT setup will cost a lot less and be everything you want it to be. Go that route.

    Awesome ya that's definitely what I was leaning towards maybe just do a rear shock relocate to get a little better travel out of the rear and then figure out a leaf pack basically between the all pro standard pack or dakars. Big thanks guys for you help much appreciated

    ...too much shit to list.
    At which spot? The frame dovetails narrower as you get closer to the rear bumper.
