    It's a decent kit if you're wheeling. Not my first, second, or third choice if you're trying to go fast

    He had some problems in the beginning which I think he chronicles in his build thread. I'm not sure what would apply to the more recent version or the one you're looking at. Maybe he'll have more details about it.

    Wheel bearing? Grab your tire and pull it towards you and push it away from you rapidly, see if you hear the hub thumping.

    Keep driving around a parking lot or something until you can replicate the sound every time or almost every time going over something, turning around, etc. Try to get a video of it.

    I had a cam bolt mushroom out so while I could torque it to spec, it still wasn't holding the lca onto the mount with that proper torque - it was torque if the mushroomed threads pushing against the cam tab while the lca still had enough play in it to cause noises and I could feel it have play when I rolled that tire into a parking block. Didn't figure it out until I took the kit off and saw the bolt seized up in there.

    This is what I did when I couldn't figure out if I had a bad wheel bearing or a bad diff. Was like 90% sure it was a diff, but at times the sounds seemed to come from up front, mounted a GoPro in the wheel well, yep bad diff lol.

    Was also praying it was a bad $200 wheel bearing, and not a $2000 rear diff lol

    Bypasses make more of clicking noise, and not normally at low speed

    A bypass will click over a speed bump since he said that when he hears it.

    I'm not familiar with the all pro stuff but my thought is that with the exception of Baja kits that any other LT kit will require dedicated LT coils.

    I thought there is also a " spacer" you can run to allow regluar coilovers to work with LT until you upgrade to the proper coilovers

    all pro used to sell them but I can't find on their site anymore. Again if you don't want send it my way haha there is a pair of icon LT coilovers for sale on here as well which could make for a nice somewhat inexpensive step up to an all pro lt kit :thumbsup:

    If you strap them short I think temporarily they will work. I've heard about other guys using stock coilovers until their 8" were ready. Might want to wait for a more certain answer though.

    A thing or two...
    You can run the OE series King coilovers on Baja Kits +2 LT kit, or so they told me when I was discussing their kit with them during the recent group buy. Their kit uses a top spacer to run them, and you lose 1-2" of travel. I don't know if they sell the top spacer by itself.

    Yep, you would just need to adjust limit straps accordingly and change them when you get your LT shocks. I was going to do this when I got my kit if shocks were gonna take much longer to be finished.
