    if you can justify the cost in terms of you actually using the truck the way you have build it, then hellz yeah it worth it. but like you said it is a pretty penny.

    if your more of an occasional weekend warrior then a nice mid trav set up will prob better suit your needs. this would include: extended travel coilovers, uni ball UCA, deaver leaf spring pack and good set of rear shocks.

    like mike showed earlier with the right BS wheels you can get you wheels to line up with a pair of glassworks 3.5" fenders. add a prerunner bumper to all that and you'll have a bitchin truck

    Engage Offroad long travel front and rear with some fat tires.
    i dunno... when mid travel, i used to think it was good enough to have some fun, but in hindsight, i wish i had invested the money and done LT from the start...

    even as a recreational wheeler, it only takes one mishap to break a stock arm or ball joint...

    and, if planning to stick to mid travel, then dont bother with the fiberglass fenders...

    instead i would invest the money on reinforcing the stock parts like gusseting the spindles and the stock coil buckets...

    below is what happened to mine with mid travel... i was only going 20 mph through the whoops when this happened...

    I need to really think about it. I'm already using a 3" coilover and 16x8 wheels with a 4" back space. We'll see, hope I find a killer
    deal.
