    thats interesting because almost all other LT kits you don't have to cut the body mount at all for 35s.

    I just ordered this kit late Monday. Got email from fedex that it shipped yesterday. Should see it next Monday as its coming all the way to Michigan. Going to set it up with the Fox 2.5 dsc coils up front and Fox 2.5 dsc 12" smooth in the rear with a shock relocate. Excited to see what sort of travel I can get out of this compared to my current Ironman Offroad kit.

    Kit was delivered Monday afternoon. Installing this weekend. Was boxed and packed very nice with all hardware labeled. Kit seems to be built pretty stout from a visual standpoint. Will report back once installed.

    kit went on last night and this morning. Few miles put on it so far and feels good. A few minor flaws with the kit.
    1. Lower control arm sleeves was a hair to small for the front bolt sleeve. Little love with a whizz wheel and good to go.
    2. Upper uniball bolt to connect to knuckle could be longer. The strut brace adds a bit of length and it’s tight. Just bought two longer bolts at Lowe’s.
    3. A coupe grease fittings were stripped but a new set and good to go.

    Honestly for the price I was willing to do some mods if needed. Everything fits snug and was easy to align. And the fox 2.5 dsc are so smooth. Anyone looking for budget long travel should consider this. New brake lines are on the way as well.

    Along with the depo lt kit, I went with the bamf relocation kit and 2.0 smooth body resi’s. Still have 2 more inches of shaft travel but the parking brake cable needs to be modified. Now if I could only get my front cv shafts shipped off-road warehouse…

    edit:this is current on 295/70r17 but soon going to 35’s.

    You sure about that. The Allpro kit moves the tire forward an inch. If this is a knock off, it should do the same.

    I didn’t measure mine specifically but I know for sure my tires are well forward from what they were. I had a small CMC before but did more as I was installing this kit. Now I have a mile of room back there lol.

    no but i was running same alignment specs at first as mid travel and i didn't clear. I adjusted it a little and cleared. Where did you see that? I asked the manufacture and they said it didnt but hell they may not know their own product lol.

    Been a LOOOOONG time but I think we discussed it here: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/thoughts-on-37s.328134/ Username was running the AP LT travel kit and 37s before I put 37s on mine (with no LT). As I recall, one reason his fit without a cab mount relocate a tubing the firewall was because the AP kit moved the tire forward an inch.

    The website says it'll clear 37s with glass fenders. I don't think that's possible unless the tire is moved forward.

    I'll probably order this kit early next year and we'll find out for sure. Got a few things to pay of first

    Sell the wife cap and then you'll have money :rofl:. Thinking of selling mine but I'll probably have to pay them :annoyed:. Hopefully with these 37s and LT she'll be good to go. Also I'm trying to come over Sunday :fingerscrossed:

    There's no shot you can use all of the travel on 37's without having to tub

    Also reading the website it mentions it comes with spindle gussets. Can anybody confirm that? Just because it's not in the pictures, I suppose I could email the company again and ask him
