[QUOTE="zombiekiller, post: 1592409, member: 25186"] What are your decision criteria? What kind of driver are you? aggressive? whoops? lots of jumping? Do you usually go anyplace that requires really tight turning radius? What are your plans for wheels/tires/brakes/cage/rear suspension? Doing even a paragraph on "which is better" for each kit is really not something that I'm offering up. I don't get paid by any of these companies. I don't receive compensation, and while I'm happy to help y'all out, I'm not currently accepting homework assignments. If you have a specific question about any of the kits, I'll happily answer it. Here are my basic thoughts: For me, the SVC kit is staying on my truck. It has been rock solid. It is the most common kit that I see on trucks that come with Exo to Baja. If I were to pick an alternate, It would be HMRacing. The HmRacing kits work really well. Just like the SVC kit, when folks go full back-half, they generally leave the kit on the front of the truck. ( both are that good). the HM kit uses bump stops, the SVC kit uses jounce bumps. I have not found myself wanting for full bump stops with the svc kit. it just works. I also don't think that 16-18" of front travel is enough to require a bump stop unless you're only running a Coilover. (granted the shocks have been tuned) Both the HM kit and the SVC kit can be driven hard enough through big stuff that you really should consider a cage. ( My truck will be getting a cage this summer. If not for covid, it would already have one.) I love the camburg slapper arm/bump stop setup. It works really well. you wont have to replace bump stop tips anywhere close to often. RPG is the widest, with the worst shock geometry. yes, you can use stock shocks, but they are working twice as hard as they do on a stock width truck. I would not recommend running the kit without bypasses. TBH, the only kit that I'd even contemplate running with just the coilovers is the camburg kit. No matter which kit you choose, they all need shock tuning. The rear suspension will struggle to keep up with the HM or SVC kits. ( as in the rear suspension will always be your limiting factor) lastly, I have to hit a jump 20-30 MPH faster than a truck with 3.0 upgrades to catch air. If I hit it at the same speed, my truck just walks over it and the tires don't leave the ground. If I want to launch it, I usually need to be doing 75-80mph when the 3.0 upgrade trucks are launching off of it at 40-45mph. [/QUOTE]
