    Something doesn't look right. This isn't attatched to my truck. Since my kit has been tested and works fine, just pull that off, send it to me for analysis and I'll send you mine. Probably won't get the same travel numbers, but LT is LT right?





















    :D:anonymous::fingerscrossed: Looks awesome man

    @tubbsisland what bs wheels did you have on the Camburg kit? I am gonna install some 35" Toyos soon but I think the bs on the KMCs isn't going to help me fit them too well.

    makes no difference how long the spring is it's all the spring rate. He could put a 24" spring on and still need the same 2" of pre load...
