    Lot's of stuff (-;
    Im kinda in a bind here... Waiting for a true release date. I thought about ordering the springs, RCV's and such to get ready but am afraid of how long I might be waiting for this kit. Id hate to order parts and have them sit or waste money on something that never releases. With that being said I know Marlins stuff is good. I waited two years after prepaying for my 4.7 crawlbox and it was worth it. Hoping for an update :boink:soon. Im sitting on new tires that I can't use :goingcrazy:

    Get yourself a used LT kit and enjoy your parts and your truck while you wait (if its a tire clearance thing specifically and you dont want to chop your firewall run a tire size down for now). Then sit back and let Marlin do their thing, let a couple of other people develop the kit. Then you can sell your used LT kit from probably about the same money you purchased it for and change over to the Marlin kit.

    2 year wait on a crawl box, id have driven down there at that point lol. Honestly everything looks fantastic but shelling out with massive wait times kills me. Well more like my wife is. I still need a steering rack solution, been rolling on the broken rack for almost 2 years now lol

    I think some people been saving up or holding off on other upgrades.. since this is going to be expensive some of us just want reassurance from marlin crawler that this is still going into production.

    Ah, I gotcha. I took the product page on their site to be a very strong indication that they are committed to making it, especially if we all hammer that "Notify when in stock" button to let them know we want it; I might register multiple emails lol. But I can appreciate that everyone here would like to hear it from Big Mike himself. I for sure plan on doing this upgrade in the future and was wondering why LT was only ever talked about in the context of racing; the increased travel is excellent for slow crawling as well and I'm thrilled Marlin is taking the lead on it.

    This is a full on game changer for our trucks. I want this setup today. The waiting is killing me ever so slowly.
