Suspension/Long-Travel Build Help

I'm looking to get the Total Chaos 2 inch expedition series long-travel kit for a 2018 4x4 Tacoma, as well as King 3.0's front/rear. Ordering C4 fitment kit as well.

Currently I have Icon 2.5's w/ remotes all-around, UCAs, and the RTX leaf pack. It's hard to find exactly what I need to make long-travel work, so I figured I'd ask the TacomaWorld crowd to get some thoughts. I'm sure I could eventually find all of this info but I'd like to have it all in one place. Some general questions:

1. What are all of the extra parts that y'all recommend to go along with the kit?

2. Do I need extended travel shocks?

3. Does anyone recommend a body lift?

4. Will my current wheels work with the kit?
KMC KM301 (KM30179060712N)
17x9
4.53 backspace
-12 offset
5. Any shops y'all recommend in Texas?

 

What are you doing?
High speed desert Baja runs
Rock Crawling
Fire Roads
Mall Crawler

 

I do a mix of everything. 50/50 between high speed runs and technical crawling. A lot of wilderness camping and do whatever it takes to get there. Seeking a well-rounded build that can handle an occasional jump and won’t break another spring 300 miles from nowhere.

“Long travel” and “body lift” in the same post?? Hmmm…seems like a Friday thread to me

 

The link above will help you a lot. Good luck.

 

Saw a guy out in Death Valley with a body-lifted long travel setup. Said he was happy with it. Figured I didn't know enough about it to totally discredit it without asking

 

Thanks for the info, I'll check these out

 

I saw that. They only listed one wheel size. Thinking surely that's not the only compatible size?
