    i had 2.0s before and kept blowing them up so i decided to just go full retard and spend it on bypasses and fab up mounts.

    Turned out better than expected.

    How long are the bypasses you put on? Were they essentially mounted in the same spot as stock?

    Can confirm, sexy AF. And keeps up pretty well with LT. (needs front bypasses though) (and/or front LT)

    Looks awesome! Stock coil on the rear or something else? How did you valve the bypass?

    they're the Metal Tech 2" LT springs.

    Had Filthy Motorsports valve them and they went with 12/15 i believe. I've since adjusted the tubes to my personal liking.

    so looking at some control arms. Would it be worth it to get the total chaos lowers and add a secondary shocks or should I just go with a +2 kit?

    Honestly, it depends on your driving style. If you like go fast stuff, go fro 3.5" LT and never look back. If you do slow stuff but want a little extra flex, go with stock length (Still don't understand why go with dual shock stock length, means you can go a little faster but keep wheel width I guess?) or if you want an expoish build and a little bit extra travel go with +2.

    I'm not planning on going 100+ in the desert but I do want something with a little more travel while being able to remain daily driveable. But if I go LT I would be sitting on the rear end for a while

    Huh?

    I'd go Rear LT first and just go for a set of kings up front for now. Can get a used set of kings and some LR uppers for pretty cheap and then turn around and sell those for LT kings down the road. You'll get way better performance out of your truck that way than throwing LT up front and letting the rear go stock.

    Also, no one's going 100+ through the desert with a bolt on LT kit up front.

    If you are debating it, go LT +2 with lowers you can add a secondary to in the future. A shackle flip leafs and shock relocation is a fair bit cheaper than a full LT rear and would keep up with the front to make you happy.

    lol I was exaggerating a bit :rofl:I thought about that. I have kings up front now. And finally deciding to Change out my lowers and uppers but it looks like it's almost the same cost wise. I'm also in the market for new cvs so I would be basically changing my entire front end
