Paid, thx. Address in paypal.

Have you driven a mid travel truck, though? Stock gen 3s can’t keep up. Jeremiah from EXO has one, runs it hard, but is miles away from mid travel gen 1 or gen 2s. I don’t care about resale value, just want to make sure the 4bar rear is a noticeable performance increase.

Can anyone that’s driven an svc 4 link truck give a review? I’d like to get some input and hopefully do a ride along before committing on upgrading from their rear bypass kit. Gotta make sure the juice is worth the extra $50k squeeze

Do it!

The lead time on shocks is so long that I recommend you go straight to mid travel up front. You won’t see a big improvement with the 3.0 fronts except for reduced shock fade compared to stock. The front won’t keep up with the bypasses on the rear.

If anyone is undecided on going mid travel with svc and in SoCal hit me up. You can come check out my truck. I’m pretty sure I pushed Matt over the edge! Btw I’m not affiliated with svc in any way but do want more built trucks around me to go on runs with.

I bought mine from Illinois and had it shipped to CA. I took it to one of those private registration brokers and they took care of everything except the smog check. I had to drive it next door for that. There was no weighing required and I never stepped foot at the dmv. I think the broker...

Stock suspension with wide fenders is the stupidest fad. “Hey you no longer fit in regular parking spots and got absolutely no benefit for it!” Couple that with wheel spacers and you actually made it weaker! Poser nonsense.

I chose white to hide the pinstripes. It certainly wasn’t my first choice, and would have gone ruby red otherwise. The darker colors do look terrible all striped up. I’ll probably wrap it once it gets too embarrassing to line up at the pick up line at my daughter’s school. I already get funny...

It overstiffened the front end. The damping on the stock shocks was no match for that much spring. It lost the floaty feeling and completely sucked off-road. I didn’t bother resetting the live valves, that may have helped a bit.

My $0.02. Your use case might be different. I’m also in SoCal and have the xl80s on the a pillars. I agree that they look real dumb and whistle on the freeway. Only reason I got them was to be visible from head-on in the dust. The low mounted lights completely disappear in the dust in Barstow...

I installed eibachs temporarily while svc waited on king shock delivery to go mid travel. The eibachs completely ruined the front suspension setup. I wouldn’t do those again. Was so happy to ditch those for the coilovers. I got yellow lenses for the a pillar xl80s. I’d probably do clear next...

How hard can you run without destroying the tent or tent mounts? I’ve been considering getting a rooftop tent for mellow outings but all my buddies have had issues with holes getting ovalized and things just not holding up. I might be resigned to regular tents, but it seems like you’ve put tons...

Yeah I’m in a gen 2. I’ll poke around and see how hard it is to unbolt it.

I didn’t even think about raising the console. Good idea. Are all the bolts inside the console or do I have to take out surrounding trim?
