    This thread is for beginners to get an idea of what kits and components veteran long travel use and what they use long travel for.

    There are multiple kits ranging from commercial to homemade using different setups(spring and shock) to achieve their own personal goals.

    Each driver has a different goal and that can range from a driver that wants to race, drive the parking lots, or fit a larger tire.

    This thread, hopefully, will combine all the right tools and information to help someone choose the right kit and setup with less headache.



    Please include:

    Picture- If you can, Front, rear, side, and the components that make your kit.

    Lt Kit and Setup- What kit you use (front and/or rear) and why you decided on it.

    Tires, Rims, Bumpers, Lights, Ect.- We all ask and it will save on clutter.

    Personal goal of setup- Include what you want(ed) to achieve.

    Glass- How wide and who you used.

    Positive and Negative- Feedback is always welcome to the buyer/researcher. Please state how long you have been long travel and how many miles on kit and components, tires, and accessories for LT. Examples would be: Would you change it? What problems have you come across? Do you have any solutions for problems you did have? What makes this kit stand out?

    Please let me know if there is anything I can add to help out(PM me). If there is already a tread like this please delete.

    Thanks,
    Sil

    Right, I guess I put too much thought into why people bought certain kits, and thought it was annoying to search and guess what people put on their trucks through pictures. So I thought I could create a better search for long travel kits and trucks under one place where people could just update their post for future buyers or just reference to get an idea. My thought was an encyclopedia.

    Thanks

    There's one of these if you search for it - bumping and adding to that one would be good. There's a bunch of good examples of long travel trucks with front and rear specs. If you can't find it I'll do it later when I have some time!
