    yea, thats what i was thinking since I'm already in need of new CVs, UCA, and was looking at LCA might as well just drop the extra and go +2. If not now i would be doing it eventually.

    I was debating for a while on doing the rear first since i have kings up front, and was talking to Tim down at DMZ on doing the rear. Lol i guess i must reconsider.

    I was actually talking to dirt king and they said that they have gotten a lot of interest over building a +2 kit. The guy i was talking to said that he would give me a call back over building me a kit. I was looking at that mod and was considering it as an extra inch of travel wouldnt be bad at all. How do you like the solo kit?

    I guess wheel/tire selection matters for my statement. You can certainly build a MT rig that won't clear stock fenders really easily.

    Yes
    I like my Solo kit but I would go with Dirt King in a f-ing heart beat if they made a +2 kit, those guys are rad, the quality of their work is second to none, they spec a lot of cool little features and they have gone the extra mile for me on multiple occasions in the past.

    @LTDSC what size spacers are you running to clear the bypasses?

    would you say your rear end outperforms the front with the bypasses? @LTDSC

    Definitely. The front end soaks it up really good. But there's room for improvement in the front. I could possibly do a bypass up front as well and be better. But I still was very happy with the overall performance.

    ...too much shit to list.
    Bypasses do not equate to performance. They allow for fine tuning of the valving in the shock. You can have all the travel numbers and bypass tubes in the world, and it doesn't do squat if you don't have a good baseline.

    All things being equal, generally speaking you want the rear to outperform the front by 25% in terms of travel numbers.
