    How do you limit travel? I'm guessing you'd be limiting downtravel because the arms are already articulated???

    Let me start by syaing that there were any issues with the guys down there. Always straight forward. My kit ran factory smoothe until I decided to mess around with it and crank up on the CO"S. After that I did have one boot breal and from the looks of it another isn't too far off. That's why I'm changing out to an RCD next week. The guys that work there know their stuff, moreso than anybody else in mobile. They will be the only ones working on my truck. The ULK is one of the best kits out there as long as you don't go past 3". I loved mine and I'm sure you guys will love yours.

    I went to Central 4WD in California and they told me to go with the readylift spacer lift over an out of box lift kit. They said it would give the front enough lift to add 33" tires. He did say it wouldn't give any more suspension travel. He told me that the spacers would only cost $150. It sounded better than the revtek spacers because the readylift spacer isn't installed between the coil. I just wanted to level out the front end and get a little more lift. The 3" lift kits sound cool, but the technician said they aren't worth the money.

    They guy at Central 4WD must like to cruise around the mall if he says any spacer lift is better than a standard 3" inch coil-over lift.
