    LSK race long travel, King 2.5x10 coilovers, 2.5x10 bypasses and 2.0 bumps. 2.5 Tundra fox rear DSC shocks, Icon RXT pack, Icon bump stops. 4.88 w/ TruTrac. AFE Y Pipe, URD cat-back. CSF radiator, OVT 91 tune, Ripp coil packs.

    I have the LSK race kit and while it is a fantastic kit, it was not cheap at all. It does come with the shock tower when you buy the kit from LSK and you dont need do as much as I did. I did it because I wanted to get all of the travel that I could out of the kit. I come from the import car world so all of the off-road and LT items are new to me and I am still learning. I did order new 3.0 bypasses and talked to Ben at Filthy motorsports when talking about tuning and I believe he was telling me for LT set it it is better to have the upper control arm moved and more inline with the lower control arm like LSK does with the race kit (somebody correct me if I am wrong.) but again this kit was not cheap and you need to be able to fab or pay somebody to fab it. It all depends one what the truck is being built for also which should depend one which kit you go with. I dont regret going with the race kit and the guys at LSK have been there and helped with any questions I have had. Fantastic guys.

    I’ve been eyeballing JD Fab...looks like a total solution to the front end.

    I second this.

    Front LT is worthless without good rear setup. If you're paying for all the work take your truck to DMZ along with $15K+ and be done with it.

    I would definitely say JD fab has the full package. @81Trekker builds them and he knows what's up.
