    Regardless start as cheap as possible. It's such a waste to fully build a nice truck, 90% of it ends up in the trash

    I vote extra cab. Single cab is too small inside with a roll cage and racing seats. And good luck linking a 4 door, your shocks are in the cab so you can't have a back seat defeating the point of a 4 door

    I can't seem to find any factory holes? I thought there should be some for optional baskets and such..but I dont see any. suppose i could drill some holes. I'd be paranoid of leakage.

    Stick with the same bran lift spindle as the LT kit.

    What's your plan for the rear? If all you do is LT with lift spindle you'll have big time bro lean and a back end that bucks offroad
