    Bummer man, I would have shot straight for the 16" triples. You have to have a bed cage design in some capacity if you plan to run through the bed, but when you get to 14's...arnt the 16's just a few pennies more? Either way I bet a lot of SOA guys would love to have your 14s.

    Whole lotta stuff
    1. I'm mid-travel 4x4 and SOA and most likely will stay unless at some point a used TC +2 pops up down the road. A 14" shock will suit me just fine for Mid travel and cope with a 2+ kit if that time ever comes. 2. Caging is expensive and I have to cut into the bed, which allows dirt and dust to break into my otherwise dust-proof sleeping area (6-foot bed + shell). Depends on what you intend to do. If @reece54 intends on going 3.5 over or any of the XLT kits, then by all means, spring for the cage and 16s for spring under. Gotta go big or go home at that point.

    For me I've put my max at a 2+ kit, with stock fenders, and no cage.

    @Tango Bravo's got a cantilever kit that gets best of both worlds though it's pricey compared to a bed cage and 16's or soa with a shock relocation. @reece54

    The dude builds nice sh*t

    Yeah I went off-road already, it out does the front which is a +3.5 kit. I’m impressed with no shock or leaf adjustments it handled great, I think I need to take out a leaf and revalve my bypasses though needs to be a little softer

    Might not be a bad idea to load some weight in it first and see if that makes it ride a little better?
