    $2500 won't get you much in terms of a real long travel kit. You still need the shocks, bumps...not to mention the rear end, which is more important.

    Tc uca aren't long travel. Long travel extends out 2"-3.5" and provides for much more up/down travel. What you'd be doing is considered a mid travel setup...which works for 99.9% of people. If you're trying to get your wings n fly...then long travel would be necessary.
    If I were in your shoes with $2500 to spend on suspension, id contact sonny at downsouth motorsports. They are a vendor on this site and have been steering members the right way based on their needs. Check out their website and you can build your own suspension.
    I am running the deaver j66 pack, so yeah I've heard of em.

    Do you think 3500 would be good for the front and back I just really want to be able to go fast like 60 or under 60 with the mid travel be suitable for that . And would I have to reinforce anything under the hood ? AND ! As far aas my truck over heating is the stock radtior going to handle ?

    Full long travel front will cost you anywhere from 5-8k..done right.
    Rear will cost you anywhere from 3-8k..done right.
    These are with new parts and fabrication work.
    You could always buy used and save but it'll take a while longer.
    I have a mid travel setup...king coilovers and camburg arms. Rear is deaver j66 and some 5100(for now).
    I've only done about 35-40 mph on roads with minor whoops. For 60 mph+ you're looking at a $10k investment, imo.

    What would you say is an appropriate rear setup to keep up with (for the most part) a TC +2" LT kit?

    you need atleast 6k to do long travel


    then you need fenders too


    get spindles, uca, coilovers, all pro leafs and nice resi rear shocks.....you will be happy.

    you dont need fenders....pros- ground clearance, lift,reduce preload on coils, track width increase.

    cons- i didnt have any, butttt it has a worse scrub radius, but dont worry about that....

    i went back to stock spindles when i went lt
