    +1, buuuut just be cautious I guess. If that was me and I was going to jump my truck, I would have checked what was after the jump..regardless, wrong landing could flip ya in a sec

    Getting out of the truck and walking what you're about to hit - whether it be a mud hole, a blind hill, or a jump, will save your ass.

    How did you start your kit? On CAD program?
    Hows the truck right now?

    Worked on it pretty much everyday for a little over a month 5PM-10PM. The actual fab work isn't the hard part. The geometry is, trying to factor everything in your head can get difficult. You'd be surprised how much moving a uni-ball an 1/8" changes everything

    the stock bump will be fine. i'd switch to a daystar bump just for the softer impact, but air bumps are not "required"

    Without going to air bumps, I'd look into the Wheeler's Superbumps (what I'm running on my truck w/LT)
