    Anyone running the Archive Garage shock relocate with spring under conversion? Thoughts on the kit?

    Currently looking at running the shock relocation, hammer hangers, Deaver sua, and King 2.5" bypasses.

    It looks very similar to the old defined kit and the current TC kit. The hangers and shackles look really nice but I wouldn't do another SUA kit unless it was DMZ. If you're going to do that much fab work it might as well be worth it IMO and the DMZ kit is proven.

    For the record, I'll be adding a few parts you listed to my truck here soon.

    Yes
    Two completely different kits though in regard to their intended purpose, the TC kit is a mid travel spring under kit that uses a hoop that does not penetrate the bed whereas the DMZ kit is a full blow LT kit that needs a bed cage with cut out bed etc...

    Thats the point.... I wouldn't do another SUA setup unless it was DMZ, other wise keep it sprung over.

    Anyone interested in a well set up mid travel kit. Total Chaos Uppers and lowers, King Extended Travel 2.5s with Resis, 700 lb coils, Readlylift Hiemed Tie Rods, Gusseted Spindles, etc. I even have the dual shock mounts and bypasses that I never got to mounting that are brand new.

    @jberry813 how worried should I be about only having one leaf going back to the shackle? Truck weights around 6k.

    Is it worth ripping a Dakar pack apart to add another leaf that will go from the front wrap all the way back to the shackle?

    Compared with a dakar pack it's an amazing upgrade, particularly when I've got a tent and gear back there.

    I'm just worried about that stretch of single leaf going into the shackle.

    Yes, you do. Also limit straps.

    I'll replace the bushings with Delrin at some point

    Do you just mean that what looks like a 6" gap between your second leaf and the shackle ? If so, you need some of that gap for clearance IE: When you are at full bump and that shackle is pushed back.
