    i cant see the point in cantilever suspension setup! besides it looks like a bunch of fab work and most people that look at it will go "WTF is that!!!!!"

    theres no way it can be better than a normal SUA setup going to a bad cage so why do it!?

    Not everyone wants to get rid of their cargo space in order to run a large shock.

    You can design the system to fit in a small space, and get 16"+ of wheel travel out of a 8" shock.

    I will most likely be going with a cantilever setup for the rear of my 4runner since there is very little space for a shock that will give me any decent travel and I don't want to cut into the cargo space.

    ...too much shit to list.
    Unless you are a fabricator its just not ecnomically feasable to run a cantilever setup. It's a shit ton of work and not a set it and forget it setup (well no LT setup is, but cantilever especially so). There are way more moving parts, and more things that can and will go wrong. And it's a pain in the ass to get the shock valving correct and a whole lot of trial and error. But yes, you keep your bed/cargo space.

    the cargo space thing is about the only good thing i see! Its pretty amazing some of the work thats in some of those systems but to me its more for show and not function! I know there are trophy trucks and other top end trucks that run these setups but fuck that!!

    I have kartek seats (PRP's). The thing is, if you don't have a roll cage and 5-point harness it's kind of pointless to have them.
