    Haha yup, gonna do the rear tonight but the front is all put together. Need to pund the pinch weld flat on the passenger side. Then its off to the alignment rack and throwing some dynabead in the tires. But for four hours work, I think we did pretty good

    Doesn't seem like theres a need for longer brake lines up front, anyone have a different experience with mid travel?

    Nope. I don't even think a lot of the LT guys need longer brake lines up front actually.

    Even just a spindle lift requires extended brake lines.

    Interesting. I guess my brake line is about tight at full droop. They aren't stretching at droop though.

    Finally done! Rides like a really tall truck on super swampers now haha. I absolutely love it. We just have to do the brake lines this weekend then it will all be buttoned up. Installed a grease zerk on the dust cap on my uniball as well while we were in there. Tat should help with the longevity of them. Alaska mud has a fairly high ph value comparitively so it eats through teflon relatively quickly. Hoping to get a lot of life out of this system and theres no reason you cant if you maintain everything properly.

    How much do you have to cut to clear the 34's? Or does them only being 10.5 wide make for lots better clearance?

    Lots better! I'll still trim the fenders but honestly my rears sre fine where they're at. At the front on full lock I don't hit anything. Full stuff and lock I'm sure I'll rub the cab mount, but thats coming off soon.

    Running spacers as well to help, it seems I'm in sort of a sweet spot right now. Factory rims, spacers, and narrow tires all add up to less clearancing.
