    Hey everyone, I've been looking at lifts for a bit now and ended up cutting down my expectations from a TC LT setup to what I have on this google sheets spreadsheet. I've conceded that the truck needs something, but flat out just will never be an offroad monster while I own it unless I go with a 3.5" + LT setup or SAS it... so while it's still mostly a road vehicle with occasional offroad trips a MT setup like this is what I have in mind.

    Please, if you could, take a look at the items I've picked out and let me know if I'm missing something obvious. My biggest concern is that I'm either missing something or that the AP expo leaves are going to be way too much spring rate for what I have (essentially no weight most of the time, occasionally loading up a trailer or the truck bed with wood)

    Stock. For now.
    What's your budget? And how much lift do you want? The 6112 is a good setup. But not really much travel over stock depending on the preload.

    Budget is very flexible. I've accepted that everything worth getting is going to be around or over $3,000. This setup would be for a truck that still sees mostly road use but I really want it to perform at speed in the sand and flex well on slow, tight and rocky trails.

    Pretty much want it to do everything lol
