    Understood. I'm still learning about all this. The reason why I upheld my point so strongly is just because I was told that the set was long travel front and rear, from some very knowledgeable chaps that had a huge part in the creation of it. But I do hear what you're saying.
    Thanks for the heads up.

    I'm STILL LEARNING about long travel and desert trucks.
    I have a long background in Rallye and I am new to this.

    My shocks extended Travel Icons with remote reservoirs that's all that I know about them. The springs are Deavers J66 10 packs.

    so true chase. i the real world our front kits are "mid travel" because they all bolt into stock locations and the basic kits retain the stock spindle. and if you really think about it... 12-14" front wheel travel isn't much

    Yes it is well said.

    Your rear end is still not LT. I'll give it mid-travel on steroids. I'm running a similar set up.

    Nice picture!

    No one is giving you a hard time.

    What's happening here is called learning. There's a whole lot of it available here and it's why we're all here.

    caged, camburg long travel, 50t leafpack (soon to be installed) light rack over cab, 5pt harnesses etc
    yeah they think anything over 16 inches of travel in the front is long travel lol. i still consider aftermarket extended lca's and uca's long travel, and spring under lt in the back.

    and chris, no one is giving you a hard time, just helping to point you in the right direction.

    these guys give me shit for my choices all the time, but i realized they are just trying to help me!:D

    How come you have 2 spring perches on that axle? Truck looks good. Seen you a bunch over on TTORA

    Assuming that they're the original mounts seeing as they're still on top of the axle. Also, only the inner one is a spring perch (notice the little hole in the middle for the center pin), the other is most likely a bumpstop strike pad!
