Let's Talk Rear "LT"

It probably includes building axles, limit straps, trimming lower ball joint mounts, and bump stop extensions. I’d say generally it would include brake lines, as well as removal and reinstallation of your brakes and rotors. If you think you got robbed it was definetly on the big brake install. Unless it was for rear brakes or swapping in a sequoia master cylinder to complement the big brake kit they installed while put your suspension back together. I don’t see 5 hours in that. Maybe 1-2 at most.

 

I hope it is. I’m looking to get more info on the pros and cons of it. CANT decided to go link, sua, or 3link

 

I had a talk with the sales guy over there and I think we both agreed that I paid a lot but there was a lot of work to be done. My truck went in there with 168,xxx northeastern miles so I’m sure it wasn’t easy pulling everything apart, finding and replacing hardware that was breaking left & right, etc.. All of my brakes and hardware were replaced/extended front and rear when it was in there. I do still need to do the master cylinder mod as the brakes don’t have enough bite although I do love the smooth, consistent, quite spongy yet powerful delivery of the 6 piston wilwood bbk.
Again I must say Mainline Overland of West Chester, PA did a great job on the install and I would have rather overpaid to have the job done right than penny pinch and have it done poorly.

 

Yeah a few seized alignment cam bolts can definetly make for a long day.

 

It’s better to overpay when you get good work (which only time will tell unless you already know what to look for) than to underpay and have problems down the line.

 

If you’re thinking about links, check out this thread about the dirt designs kit (start here and read on a bit). I’m still in the same boat as you. I have the total chaos mid travel SUA and am trying to decide what to do next now that I have a bedcage and 2.5x16” King triples

 

If you can afford it / build it, no reason why linking isn't the way to go if you are setup to maintain it. If you're a weekend warrior leafs will work. I suggest watching a bunch of youtube videos of trucks with each and look at how they perform and relate that to you and your expectations.

 

Don’t go SUA. I did and not happy. Redoing it now, just pull the trigger from the start and save money.

 

All SUA kits don't work the same way and all trucks need to be set up for the function of the truck - doing due diligence is important especially since you're never sure if what people are suggesting will 100% apply for your specific likes.

 

Okay I’ve decided. I would love to go 4 link but I still would like to like get my truck pass smog and driver it every once in a while on the road. So I decided to go with a 3 link setup. Who makes these set ups? So far I know giant Motorsport and dirt designs does. Any other options out there?
