    im not trying to offend is what people say right before they try to offend you. im a visual learner need pics as well as info. not settled on long travel mid travel is a new direction im gathering options so i can raise my knowlegde of suspension. no offense but im a carpenter if you want to know how to form concrete, build a deck or make a piece of furniture my knowledge level is way up there.

    A set of king coilovers, upper control arms, the wheel spacers you have will change your trucks performance immediately.
    Cost...roughly $2000.00
    As for the rear, well, that's a whole other ballgame. I think zach can answer those questions a lot better.

    Camburg. When you order direct from Camburg you get a TW discount and the front kit is $2160

    Zach does not have LT rear. I did my entire LT rear end with the cost of a new welder for ~$1850.

    OP you really need to do some more research. LT is not about "lift", look through some of the builds on here and look at the differences between long travel and mid travel and what each can do. You need to decide what you really need it to do or you will end up wasting money

    did the OP smoke crack before starting this thread? that intro has me convinced.

    Also even if u drop like 3k get your front looking super sicky gnar 3.5" wider along with the 3" spacer monstrosity so u can haul through the mud next to your job site, you will need to do the same to your rear end otherwise its useless, u cant build half a truck and expect it to work 100%. on average expect to spend 6-7k on this... and it cant be done over night. otherwise every other crack whore and there mom would be long traveled as well

    Not sure if he's a crackhead, just think he's new to the lift/long travel arena. He just needs to do the research and find what suits him best. I think a simple coilover/control arm setup would suffice, but what do I know.
    Crackheads need lifted trucks too.

    We were all new once. I remember when I first joined here with my second gen with a top spacer lift and blocks I saw a pic of some one hucking their truck at Pismo and asked what I needed so I could do that too. Mikesdoublecab answered the question and pointed me to the sake.set up that guy had.

    yup. the mid travel replaced my spacer lift. i put the spacer on not long after i bought the truck in 2004... my truck sat around at my parent's house from 2006-2008 during my military training. did the mid travel right after i got out

    spacer :D

    wow that is a very interesting point of view you have. you remind me of one of those world of warcraft level 1000 warlock geeks who bashes the guy who just plays every now and again while you pretend you really live the game. is this place not for asking questions of more knowlegeable members. im more of a visual learner seeing it done speaks volumes for me. as my interest evolves i would like to upgrade to a more aggressive suspension without having to backtrack through the weaker suspension.
