    It's not the suspension. That's how it goes. Ask in the LT thread. They all agreed.

    How often am I going to be at sand dunes hitting whoops? Once a year maybe. How many times will I be on rough dirt roads? Way more often.

    Watching videos I wanted long travel because it floats like a cloud. But it doesn't. Outside of sand dunes LT doesn't perform any different than MT.

    Yea very true, when I was chating with DSM they said the beauty of bypasses is so that you can adjust shit on the fly. They said to just play with them on trail in small increments and odds are it wont take long to figure out the "fast" speed settings for them. After that, just walk it back to "on-road" settings. From what I hear that takes about 5 min once you know your set up.

    I know my settings are soft right now without front bypasses, but man I think mine drives sooo much better than my MT kings did. Im sure my rear will be similar to what it is now, but with SUA it just feels good in general. We will see how I feel after my DMZ rear, but at 45+ mph my truck really likes it.

    I'm just too lazy at the moment. I have to get mine revalved.

    The settings don't work if the shocks aren't valved correctly.

    I removed my sways before I went LT though...LT just makes the sway more manageable now!

    My MT always felt nice, just not in the same league as LT with speed!

    Who made the shocks? I wonder if the Giant kit requires a specific valving for it to feel good? I know DSM makes kings specifically valved for the DMZ rear.

    On a different note...after this week camping I woke up to an almost dead battery twice. Kind of nerve wracking listening to it barely cranking for a while. Thankfully it started both times.

    I guess it's time to look into either a bigger battery or duals.

    I haven't had that issue yet but I've noticed a lot of water splashing out of it.

    I hadn't either up until this weekend. All I had on was the fridge.

    But I also want to add USB charging ports to either the bed or the tent. So that's another drain. Maybe some extra camping lights too.

    Just the safety factor would be nice too. I suppose I could check the water levels. Last time i looked it seemed fine.

    Also check this out. I haven't had this good of gas mileage since 285's!

    Took off the shift sense and manually shifted it. Even runs in sixth gear on the freeway.

    Weather proof USB ports and switch pro ordered! I have six sets of lights and the USB port back there. That's just about all of the available switches. :rofl:

    This things looking pretty sweet. I'd add hoops to the all pro, and not replace it.

    Tube bumpers have a much faster look than plate.
