    It’s the same kit as their 2nd gen one. Though I thought DTF wasn’t doing business anymore.

    Other than that I believe Solo Motoraports XLT kit or LSK are both pulling around 18”

    My mistake, wasn't aware they were out of the game. LSK says 14.5", which is still plenty reasonable.

    I am also just googling shit, my lLT truck (little long travel) has been in the shop for 6 weeks so I'm just desperate for truck knawwwledge.

    I guess you’re right on the lsk kit. I thought it was supposed to have 18” or something. Maybe that’s something they’ve teased that’s not been released yet, or I could be completely wrong.

    As for dtf, he might be back up and running, but last I heard he closed shop a little over a year ago to pursue a different career path.

    The most travel for a 2wd would be the J arm kit from quixotic which pulls 19-21” IIRC

    and then there is one other company making a J arm Tacoma kit but I’m blanking on who makes it

    and then you also have Steve at dirt designs kit which is what’s on Joel’s truck i think

    All that I can think of:
    Quixotic J-arm - 19+”
    Solo motorsports - 18”
    DTF (discontinued) - 18”
    True Travel J-arm - 17”
    Camburg racing - 15”
    Dirt king - 15”
    Total chaos - 15”
    Dirt designs - 15”
    LSK - 14.5”
    BTF - 14”
    Total chaos +2 - 13”
    Baja kits +2 - 13”

    I believe all 3.5 kits pull about the same travel.
    4wd usually has like an inch less than he posted number.

    The +3.5” kits are closer to 13” and +2” closer to 11-11.5”. I wish mine was pulling 15” though.

    Xlt 4x4 is more like 16.5 before you cut and cut and cut all the metal.

    I just got specs off of manufacturers websites.
    Guess that is what they're capable of with set cutting and bump/limit strap positions.
