Dakota I don't think you should get LT

 

Um. Do you realize how useless this ifs is? It's either LT or SAS

 

No because Ill ride in your truck one time and then have to spend $3000 on LT because ill realize how amazing it is and how worthless my Icon CO's are.

 

At first I was like WTF Brian hahaha

But yes you will be. Only good thing is you'll be able to reuse those coilovers. Besides it seems like a pretty great mid travel setup you're building (if you go with uniballs that it). Really similar to Mademan and he has some good looking travel. It seems that a really big help is deleting the sway bar. I would kill for quick disconnects like Jake's jeep has

 

Haha I figured you were going to think I was stupid

I am defintetly going with uniballs, I talked to username a bit yesterday about them. The only thing Mademan did that I won't is sway bar delete, I watched JDAM's truck go around a round-a-bout and he had some serious body roll. I wish there were quick disconnects, although JDAM said its only 4 quick bolts, you could take it off right before a trail and put it on when you get home I guess?

 

Just ditch the sway bar and don't look back. That's the single most helpful mod I've done. The articulation is so much better and I like the way it handles on the road more. Don't drive like its awd but it handles like the way those desert race trucks look like they corner of that makes sense.

 

I would if I was dakota, but I commute 40 miles a day if not more and the only time it would benefit me is when im on trails, which is only in the summer. I would rather have the safety of less body roll on the windy roads around here. The deadliest highway in the western US and its within top 5 deadliest highways in the nation, im on pretty much everyday (not the entire length but the section nicknamed death row). Very windy and should have the speed limit reduced in some places to 50 instead of 60.

 

I drive an hr everyday accross bridges here on the coast and I'm fine but don't do it unless your comfortable doing it

 

Maybe if I ride in someones truck and see how it is without it but until then I wouldn't be comfortable doing it.

 

Is Dakota still running one? Might be why he doesn't have anymore down travel

 

Yeah I believe he is. Maybe during the summers ill take it off and see, my biggest worry is with my 170lb rtt on the roof of the canopy, on trails it will handle

 

Next time you go wheeling remove it so you can feel it on the road driving to your spot and you can try to articulation

 

Removing my sway bar was the best decision ever after adding a lift. Much smoother.

 

Do you notice any more sway on trails with the rtt up there?

Probably the summer I will, to cold and wet to go under and find the bolts haha

 

Yeah I'm running one. My suspension DOESNT MOVE! It's true its 4 easy bolts, but it's a pain to get out. Especially with skids.

 

I don't want to take my swaybar off either. The coil overs would have to be stiff as fuck and gain a shit load of down travel for me to even consider taking the swaybar off let alone going through with it. I still want to be able to corner in the mountains at high way speed

 

Drop the skid in your fancy heated garage and pull the sway bar and try it for a week.

 

I will, on my fancy car lift so I don't even have to stoop I was just saying it was a pain to get out in front of a trail.

 

Taking off the sway bar was the best thing I ever did, I also have 700lb springs though.

 

I have preloaded 620 lbs with no bumper.
