    Hey guys I want to build my truck soon and not sure on the way to go. I want to be able to hit whoops around 50 but still be able to hold 2 dirt bikes. I want to run king or fox shocks as well. I’ve got a 2017 TRD pro so I want to keep 4wd and possibly have front and rear air lockers. Any input on how this would be possible or if it is possible would be greatly appreciated and if you know how much this would cost that would be great too

    Contact @AccuTune Offroad for your suspension needs and be ready to handover your credit card.

    Contact East Coast Gear Supply (ECGS) for preloaded diffs with ARB air lockers. Super helpful staff and they'll get you setup. Again, keep that credit card handy.

    Fair enough, we can work on that setup also. :D

    LT vs Mid Travel is a massive difference, so I would certainly do some homework to make sure thats the route you want to go. Be honest with yourself on how you plan to use the truck mostly and what your budget is. LT Tacomas will not drive as nice as a mid travel kit, but will certainly stomp some whoops if thats what you're after. Lots of LT kits out there, all of them have their own shock specs so keep that in mind also. It can get complicated, which is why we put our complete kits together.

    Here are some links to check out to get some ideas flowin:

    We've tuned coilovers for an overland trailer if that counts.

    Just get a trailer like this and order 2 of the rear LT kits... properly tuned by @AccuTune Offroad, of course!

    Do you hit whoops at 50 mph on your dirt bikes?

    There's always got to be that someone out there.:crazy:
    You don't use a truck to hit whoops at 50 mph when you have dirt bikes that can do it with far less carnage.
