    Nice. I may not have ever told you but I did test fit my 315 size spare on there when I was building it. IMO, every swingout needs to be designed to hold up to at least a 35. If you decide to go to 37's then the cans may get in the way, but as you've found out 35's are good to go.

    Get on those frame plates!

    I should have just asked you. For the longest time I was thinking it wasn't going to fit. 37s not in the future. Would have to regear and all that junk. Frame plates are going on when we do the LT installation since the truck will be on a lift. Going to do it at a buddies shop on December 20th.

    It does look like the passenger side is bigger, but look at the top shock tab mounts. Angled slightly inward, not straight up and down.

    Why no rear LT?

    That's an old picture. No long travel rear for now. Should wheel just fine with current setup matched with the LT. Dude that was featured in toyota 4wd has the same setup in going with

    ...too much shit to list.
    Your rear setup will work just fine for what you'll be doing. There is some advantage to uptravel and gnarticulation with rear LT, but it's a compromise on ground clearance as well. I rarely 3 wheel even in the wicked stuff, but I definitely have to pick my lines more carefully.

    Do you know what valving you're going to run in the coilovers?

    Help me out with quick specs on your truck.

    3.4 v6?
    Plate bumpers
    Skids? If so, which ones and how thick?
    35's
    Anything else of substantial weight you'll have?

    EDIT:
    Also...you just want it valved for crawling...or you want it so it can handle some higher speed stuff? Small tradeoff. If you valve it for high speed, it will work fine for crawling, but will be a rougher ride on daily driving.

    If it were me and my driving style, .020 stack on compression with a .008 flutter between two largest shims, and .012 stack on rebound. Paired with a 18" 600 or 650 lb coil with the flat bottom plate. The flutter will make the slow shaft speed movement calm but you'll still have the .020's on the high speed shims which will take up the big hits. I like a faster rebound to make the front end pop too.

    If you're only going to be doing crawling, you can probably drop the comp down to a .015 stack, but keep the .008 flutter. Rebound's really not going to make a difference with crawling.

    See what MCM recommends too. Curious to see what his thoughts are.

    16" with tapered bottom plate or 18" with flat bottom plate? Assuming 18" since Matt was the one that originally convinced me on the 18" and I've never looked back since. Your truck probably weights a little more than mine, but I have very little preload. IMO the 18" 600lb spring is the perfect spring for our truck.

    18" flat plate. .

    Jason since matt sent the coilovers already I've asked him to chime in on the valving.

    Awesome. I'm sure he won't steer you wrong. With crawling tho...it's a lesser issue because the majority of the time things are slow and less noticeable than high speed shock movement. You can valve shocks for hauling balls, and it will still do just fine crawling. Valving doesn't hold the weight of the truck up, springs do. However it can make the in-cab perception a little softer on the post office speed bumps. I have revalved my shocks countless times and I honestly can't tell the difference while crawling. It's only noticeable on the fast stuff.

    I'm slightly opinionated tho so take it as a grain of salt. :D

    Agreed.. Jason knows what's up and is quick to help someone. Just don't say anything stupid because he will call you out on it with the quickness. Especially if you are trying to give false information.
    thanks jason for kicking some knowledge.
