    Understand, however Jesse may have some insight on what could be going on. Was actually thinking about heading up Friday to see if they want to quote out a project on my truck.

    Late to the party but my camburg kit cycles 16” metal to metal. W/ coilovers, bypasses, and custom setup bumps + straps I have it about a tad above 15”.
    That said their lower uniball adapter thing is odd.
    Full uniball pivots even on the frame side are nice however.

    having the LCA under the uniball means the steering isnt limited by the control arm 'neck' hitting the adapter.

    True. The DD kit is awesome. I didn’t know as much at the time I went with dirt king as they were very comparable to the TC race kit but significantly cheaper. No regrets though. Their customer service has always been amazing and I’ve heard the same about TC. DD kit is up there with the best options you can choose out there. Just always forget about them because they aren’t as mainstream.

    LS Swap with RSG Tranzilla, Custom hi clearance front bumper, Relentless: Slider's, bed rails, rear bumper, Prinsu with 40" BD s8. Dirt Designs 3.5 LT. Archive Garage rear towers/shackle flip/SUA. King Air bumps. King LT Coilovers in front. King 12x2.5 in rear. ARB rear air locker and twin compressor. SCS f5's with 33" Ridge Grapplers. 20" S8 mounted in bumper, squadron sport fog lights, squadron pro backup lights, LP6's bumper mounted.
    yeah being able to change from a 8" to 10" coilover and heim the upper arms to get adjustment has been awesome to push from the 12-13" of travel to 16.5" while keeping the same kit. next just gotta decide if i wanna build my own kit or see how much further i can push this existing kit.

    My next move is a 12” coilover/bypass setup. But first I need to figure out driveline. If I bail on 4wd which is looking more and more likely, things may get wild.

    2wd guys play in sand all the time. Without paddles, too. I just know, no matter what we do. We will never have a diff strong enough to put solid power through.

    That’s the catch… 2wd lol.
    I’m not sure what 4wd would cycle.

    2wd. Lots of dune time.
    Lots of fun, but lots of stuck too.
    Live and learn to drive in the sand.

    I finally got an alignment last night on my truck.

    -0.4 degrees of camber, 4.0 caster, -.01 toe

    truck drives so much better now it’s not even funny. First time aligning this thing since LT install. Lower pivots are locked out, all adjustment done from the uppers.

    Wow I actually don't remember any front kit discussions like that ? I'm super curious to go cycle mine this weekend because my Solo +2 kit cycled 12" clean so I'll be a wee bit pissed off if my +4 kit is cycling less than that !? I'm pretty sure that wayyyy back in this thread there are photos from when the kit was being developed showing it cycling 14-15" ?

    Center mount 9” like the ultra 4 guys. That will be my eventual move if I ever ditch the current setup. But also at that point just build a 4400 car and slap a taco cab over it

    I'll let you know how mine does when it's eventually done. 39s, 500hp, and 9" diff should hopefully work out okay
