    Mid travel IMO. Because you can still crawl with good flex and go fast. Its a good median

    it takes a while to setup because it's hardening, its meant to be strong and take rocks and stuff, and yeah i'm thinking mid travel will be good. I plan to done some jumping in the dunes and some crawling :p

    I used under coating on a spot on my fire wall where I had to reweld a hole. You have to let it sit in a constant temp place for about a full day or more. Mine is fine. It's supposed to be a bit soft to kind of flex when shit hits it. But not super soft..


    Also. Go big or go home. LT

    Ya, If you are going to do LT the correct way, you will be dropping some money into the truck. anywhere between 3 to 5k in the front end

    Well it depends on if you 4 or 3 link or just use leafs. I dont know how much a 4 or 3 link would be exactly, but it is expensive. and I think you can do the rear around the same as the front if you do the fab work and leaf springs. that is SAU or SUA kit i forget what it is called (spring under axle), the new leafs, shackles, bypasses, and new mounts
