    I can definitely tell a difference BUT it's not as significant as I expected. I think I just haven't put it through it's paces yet where it'll really shine. I did "jump" some speed bumps (I didn't actually get air) and the front came down soft as a cloud and the rear was a little harsher.

    I really just want to get the ass end done too, so the whole ride is nice. That'll come with time though. The hammer hangers improved the rear ride a lot as it is.

    On a serious note, I always thought long travel was a speed/ desert setup.

    Any super benefits to wheeling with them besides the obvious drop benefit?

    This is only +2” LT so nothing too crazy. This is more for going a little faster on rough rodes, but mainly for the increased travel off road. He’s going with a long shock in the rear for a lot of flex, and wants the front to keep up. If you look at 4runnerfreaks on IG he’s got a LT set up but does a lot of crawling. He’s local to me as well.
