    3.5" Dirt Kings LT Kit w/ extended CV axles
    King Shocks front and rear w/ Comp Adjuster
    Dakar Leaf Spring Pack
    Road Runner 4" Bulge Fenders

    Want it to sit on 33"/12.5"/17"
    Looking at Tire- KO2s

    Thank you !

    Kinda sad but I have officially decided on what I am going to do with my truck. Going to throw it up on 3" lift with King coil overs and Total Chaos UCA up front and for the rear end have kings with the OME leaf pack to level it out. Also its going to sit pretty on 285/75R16 BFG KO2s and 16" Method Double Standards Black.

    Decided against the long travel as It would be unneeded in Hawaii as most trails would be overland/crawling/sand trails.

    Thanks everyone for you inputs and helping me out. As soon as I get back from this underway and get everything on I will be blowing up your news feed.

    for what you are using it for that's the right choice. LT is expensive and not needed for what you are doing.

    Yeah like i said before thank you guys for the input. If i ever get stationed in San Diego Ill probably play with the LT kit idea again but until then I think ill be very satisfied with my choice.

    “Long travel” and “beginner” generally do not mix well. You’ve made the right choise.

    Even if you have $10,000 to throw around, long travel isn’t where you should be focusing for your needs.

    Just go out and drive he shit out of your rig as is. The more you drive, the more you’ll figure out what specifically you need.
