    not really sure yet. the easy route would be to buy the Defined sprung under kit that uses the stock spring mounts and a longer shackle, and build a bed cage. I really like that kit, with the exception of the rear tire approach angle.

    my other thought is to get a custom 4'' lift pack and either run a longer shackle off of the stock hanger, or push the shackle mount back a little and pair that with the longer shackle. this would be used with a bedcage too.

    either way, the overall goal is to gain both up and down travel. a regular aftermarket 1/5-3'' pack with a shackle flip and bed cage could get me all kinds of drop for sure, but won't do anyhting for compression, which I could really really use. getting tired of my rear bucking around on the fast stuff.

    on another note, a public service announcement: don't choose to perform alterations under the influence. had a 6pack of IPA, went outside to break down my UCAs and clean/regrease my balljoints. killed another 6pack of IPAs while is was out there. hour and a half later, my balljoints haven't been touched and all i have to show for my time is a damn smiley face. seemed like such a good idea 5 hours ago :facepalm: now i have to do the balljoints tomorrow morning.

    If I can either get the defined cage or a bender I would run a 4" pack with the longer defined shackles and use a 14" shock. This way it would remain spring over and would be limited fab and welding to the frame. I don't know how much up travel you'd gain with that set up though.
