    Not enough to have a build thread.
    Not to thread jack, but I have a couple first gen mid travel questions if someone feels up to satisfying my curiosity. Are extended CVS necessary for mid travel? Will the factory CVS hold up to the extra angles? Does mid travel require fenders as well or can you just trim and put a bigger bump stop in?

    I thinking I'd like to do a mid travel setup by the end of the year, but I just put a set of 5100s in and noticed how tight the CVS are at full drop. They still rotate smooth, but seem to be at their limit.

    The cv boots rubbing and wearing holes are what limits most of the lift you can get with a mid travel setup. Depending on what size tires you run you can put on fiberglass fenders, cut the stocks, tub the firewall (with 35's), etc. It really depends on what you see happening when you cycle the suspension.
