    Well my schedule isn’t lining up with my buddy, so I’m wondering if anyone recommends a shop to install a TC +2 long travel kit? Thanks

    A lot of crap and too much money spent
    Why not just get some guys that have done the install to help ya out. I personally have never done the installation. I would love to have the experience of doing this install on my truck but no such luck. :D

    I would but most people wouldn’t want to help. Have to build axles, weld in cam tab gussets, weld spindle gussets, weld shock tower gussets, weld limiting strap and I don’t weld.

    Yup. May end up selling the kit if I don’t get time to install. Guessing a shop is going to be outrageous amount.

    That’s what I was thinking having a shop,install and do the welding would be crazy money. You can’t do a portion of it now and do some of the welding later? Or does it have to be done all at once?

    I may end up installing everything this week and leaving my truck sitting there till king can make those shocks. Have to ride the motorcycle everywhere. Anyone know if my current icons will bolt up enough to drove like 10 miles? Lol
