    Yes
    What mismatch ? There is no mismatch ? He has the highest travel kit made for the front of our trucks ? You seem to be expecting to see some sort of artulation in the front end ?

    Don't "expect" Articulation from something that's not made to articulate like a crawler, because it's not... Also as a couple people pointed out he has stiff front springs as do most of us, hence it Limits articulation, not the travel...:thumbsup:

    Never had a serious 5 lug customer.

    Everybody wants it till we stat talking prices lol


    TC rear kit? Looks solid :thumbsup:

    Not bolt-on kits ;)

    Links are sprung a bit softer so the rear will want to articulate sooner especially if the sway bar is off.

    We were surprised how well these leaf springs can actually articulate.

    I’m not saying it would be anything significant, but with the weight shift it doesn’t look like any movement at all. I’m sure I’m wrong and ya’ll are right...he’s perfectly sprung in the front.

    I think the glass fenders are also throwing off the perception if how much the front end is articulating.

    That happened to me in my Titan, white Ford Taurus vs Nissan Titan with 35 BFGs, gouged the driver side front n rear doors, driver said it was my fault and that I need to pay him for damage right now. He got scared when I asked for his information and insurance can handle it. (He probably had no license or insurance) I laughed in his face when saw not a scratch on my truck

    Dang. Did you have to adjust the pre-load on your coils for that load?
