    I'm looking to upgrade the suspension on my 2019 off-road. Planning to go for Kings with adjusters with OME Darkars in the rear. I'm curious about extended travel for the Kings.

    I know I can do extended travel in the front (when paired with aftermarket UCAs). It's not clear to me which I want in the rear. I searched the forum and couldn't find a conclusive answer, one way or the other.

    If I'm going with OME Darkar leafs and expect around a 2" lift on 3rd gen, do I want standard travel (25001-121A) or extended travel (25001-121A-EXT)? Why?

    In case it's relevant, it will the heavy OME Darkars. I have a camper and sliders totaling 450lbs static weight, then plus whatever I add for trips.

    Thanks.

    Oh, interesting idea. I hadn't considered going that route.

    Do you offroad / hit the suspension limits?

    Excuse potentially dumb questions. I'd seen some mentioned of extended bottoming out if you had less that a 3" lift. Trying to make sense of that.
