    Looking at the TC +2 arm I can see the tight tolerances in that area. So contrary to what I've said above I'm guessing some tweeks with cv boots, alignment tabs, etc can make them work.

    Solo isn’t the best don’t know the experience to had with them but I had nothing but problems installing my xlt kit and @tacogrom was supposed to have his kit “on his truck by New Years” acccording to them and ended up not even getting his hands on the kit til the beginning of this month, then after that they said they would install it for him and be done in a week only to find out a week later they haven’t even touched his truck

    I’m not reading through all of this, but basically LT usually has issues I’m assuming?

    Just to clarify,

    Upper control arms
    Lower control arms
    Long travel shocks
    Limit straps
    Extended tie rods
    Extended brake lines
    Extended spindles
    Longer CVs

    Everything needed for the front LT ? Missing anything?

    Just do your research and figure out what you want the truck to do. To do it right is seldom cheap, but its worth it if you want to drive fast off pavement. Best thing I ever did to my ride, but I had a pretty seamless experience with my TC kit.

    Accurate except maybe spindles.

    Most kits (total chaos, bajakits, etc) come with most of those parts aside from the shocks and CVs

    If I can't figure it out, I will end up welding new shock tabs on and moving everything a little further forward.

    Until then I'm going to try new boots again and having the boots really scrunched up towards the hub assembly.

    But the kits for sale on Craigslist, someone 2wd take it please :rofl:

    The spindles stay the same unless you get a kit that provides them like the solo XLT or the LSK kit. Normally the kits have all components in them and typically sell all at once together which can make things a little pricy to get into the game.

    @BEAR_KNIFE_FIGHT beat me to it.
