    Most people with stock length suspension get the total chaos lowers for strength and the secondary shock mount.

    No, stock length. Gives I think an inch more of travel and that uniball is a nice feature. Mostly for looks.

    Not sure this is the right truck for long travel. Goin for a daily driver/expo build.
    Gonna get another old beater for either LT or rock crawling. LT is not good on a daily driver.

    No discount.lol a block of metal doesn't get wear and tear.

    Lol ok I understand that but it's all a waste and overkill if u had LT for sure the second shock and strength. I have yet to see anyone who needs the extra strength or the second shock

    Hey hey don't shoot the messenger, I feel the same way. Secondary shock on stock length* arms looks like those chrome accent shit you get from Vatozone as far as I'm concerned.

    Only difference is it cost a fuckload rather than $19.99

    Skid plate the stock lower and get tie rod.
    That's good for stock LCA. but still IMO a waste as I am now selling all my stuff to buy LT from solo Motorsports

    Wow. thats an expensive change. Im just not in it for making a new truck LT. Unless my paychecks double. If I had an old truck I would gut that shit for long travel and a full cage. Just not the right move on a new truck that i also use for work.

    offroad is life

    I think the extra strength from the lowers is good for your Mike, consider their race ones as well as they're boxed chromoly for only $200 extra. No heims, sadly though.

    Alot of people like the stock width and having and secondary shock nice for shock tuning you'd be surprised what a built front mid travel can handle with rear long travel.

    I'm gonna put it in the back corner of the bed. Far from the cab cause I imagine this thing bounces around. I will rig up a mount once I see what this thing looks like.

    Shall we just start planning the weekend of the 16/17th? I bet most everyone has fluids to change, bolts to tighten, shit to unbroken, right? :laughing:

    I'm still running my secret rocket bays in the truck :stirthepot:

    Well said. Gonna have to start a running list of who is a regular and tag those folks. @SlipperyTaco anyway you could start a "regulars" list on one of the early posts for the sake of easy organization? :D

    Also @eon_blue I just saw that quote from @TacoJohn :rofl::rofl::rofl:
