    and another question cause im getting serious about this now.... having a regular cab do you think triple bypasses are worth it compared to double/smooth bodies? im debating if dropping a grand in triples or getting smoothies so i have more money for a cage. thanks for the help!

    For the rear, doubles & bumps are quite sufficient. As the 3rd bypass is for compression to act/simulate a bumpstop.

    so what youre kind of saying is that a triple bypass somewhat has an integrated bump stop? which means i could hold off for a while for the bumps for a little while?

    If you wanted to yes, you can usually find bumps cheap over on DR tho.

    Yeah, but I'd still go for the 2.5" Shocks :cool:

    Yeah, Mike's kit is awesome. I'll probably end up running it eventually too. You'd probably be fine with a set of smooth bodies (2.5") & Hydro-Bumps :cool: Can't remember if you're meant to run a 14" or 16" shock with the kit.

    Thought so, just couldn't remember :cool:

    Oh, well 2.0" bumps would be fine, but you can come across both used over a on DR quite easily so whatever comes up I'd just run with that :cool:

    Yeah, I still haven't decided if I want to go SUA or not yet, but we'll see!
