    Well for what I do It'd probably destroy the leafs, since clearance often plays a factor for trails!

    Edit: Realized I wrote SUA in the above post not SOA :facepalm:

    Thanks, I read through it and send Mike @ Defined Engineering an e-mail to see what he thinks about what I've been planning.

    i actually was gonna ask kinda the same question! I do alot of trail riding but want LT and was wondering about what the best rear setup would be.

    A leaf over with a u-bolt flip kit would give the most clearence, which i like, but whats the best option for that as far as springs? All-Pro?

    and i wanna run resi-shocks and have them bolt in to the stock location and run secondary shocks with that, what length shocks would i need on the primary and secondary shocks and what do yall suggest/ prefer: Fox or King

    Yea, well I'm running All-Pro Expo Leafs and they're real nice for what I've been doing with them, but I'm sure my setup can be improved!

    yeah thats what im wondering, just tryin to find the best setup while keeping clearance and without cutting holes in the bed! I plan on running either the 2" Allpro front kit or the 2" Total Choas front kit and trying to match the back

    Yea, I'm going to be running the same setup, well planning!

    I want to keep clearance, cutting holes in the bed isn't a big deal to me, but I don't want a weld-on bed-cage, which poses problems of its own, unless you're willing to shell out $2k for the Giant one!

    heatstroke (sp) on TTORA does weld it yourself cages for your truck. THey look sorta like the 4x innovations cage but thats a good starting point to build off of. It will be a lot faster to do that.
