    I'll be making mine LT, but its gonna be an extremely long time from now. I gotta wait until after basic, AIT, and getting to my first station of duty to do that. and I'm not sure how much i will have to do it yet.

    I would go MT or LT ONLY if you are going to be doing SERIOUS off roading, if your truck is 90% street truck, LT or MT is WASTE of money, unless you are doing it just to be cool bro...

    my truck is more like 60 street 40 offroad. ive been doing a lot of comparisons and i seem to believe that the Icon MT kit is for me. I'm gonna throw some 33"s on with some glass and have some fun.

    IMO, mid-travel will be fine.

    x2.

    x3.

    X2. A 4x4 truck will do good across ruts and rock crawling with .

    OP, you are 2WD, if you decide to do more desert trails. Speeds with 60+ on the trail, LT a 2WD truck would be great. I am not familiar with the trails in your area, it is hard to say yes/no to LT your truck. IMO mid-travel would be the route to go.
