    Are bypasses THAT much better than smoothies with adjustable compression? I am looking to upgrade my rear end to a relocation kit and +2 eventually and want to start speccing out parts.

    What type of relocation? SOA? SUA?

    SOA with archive relocation and hammer hangers is the plan for now, but I'm very open to recommendations. I love how the TC kits look and handle but I don't necessarily NEED the performance of a double shock kit up front for what I do. I just want a decently bulletproof setup that allows me more flex and travel, which is why I started looking at the relocation kits.

    I currently have the TC MT SUA with king 12 inch smoothies with clickers with the BAMF relocation. IMO its just fine as the clickers work with a solid range for the speed the kit can handle. Nothing wrong with going bypasses, but unless you want to really haul ass with your rig, I doubt you would get the benefits out of them.

    I am getting ready to LT my rear and those DO have triples that will be going in.

    Cool man -- for what I do I think the smoothies with clickers will work just fine then. That saves me some money for now [lol saving money on a MT kit] that I can throw elsewhere later.

    Is the consensus that the TC kits are the way to go? Over dirt king or whatnot.

    Wait are you talking about front kits or rear? I was only referring to running smoothies for the rear. I like the TC kit for the 3.5 for the front, Burg has a good kit from what I hear for the Taco as well. A member here is selling a hell of a deal on the east for a DK 3.5 kit.

    When my plan was to go +3.5 I was looking at Total Chaos and Dirt King, as those kits have the lower uniball integrated into the arms while Camburg uses an adapter for their LCAs

    Do you have a build thread and/or a sale thread for your truck? He's not a Toyota guy, but he likes to horse trade so anything that can bring him extra value he is interested in.

    Well both, but I was initially talking about rear. I will probably run singles in the front and upgrade to secondaries down the road.

    I think 3.5 is way too big for me -- I'm hoping to see if I can get away with not running fiberglass and just custom fabbing some larger fender flares.
