    Sweet writeup on the LT install.

    I'm getting ready to order ADS coilovers and you got me close to just going LT. You still a fan of the MCM setup over say the Total Chaos or Camburg LT kits?

    You could fit 3 6" lights. Not 8s though.

    Thanks man!

    Ads is the shit. Can't go wrong there at all.

    I absolutely love the mcm kit. Been a blast. I do think its better then the others the lcas alone make it worth it.

    That said, the jump from mid travel to long travel is quiet the price difference haha don't forget you'll need fiberglass fenders too. And CVS. Matt can get all of that for you too.

    Also the width increase can turn people off but I didn't and haven't had issues with that yet. The turning radius so far is the only thing ice noticed I don't like.

    Otherwise give matt a call and he will set you up! @M C M you wont be disapointed with either his mid travel setup or long travel
