[QUOTE="Jakenbake, post: 1610949, member: 25145"] Something to keep in mind is how you intend on aligning the truck. I have my lower control arm pivot points locked out and have an upper arm with heims that serves as my castor/camber adjustments now. As far as going from stock travel to mid travel to long travel, a lot of terms get thrown around. Stock track width and midtravel/long travel would be a better way to term it. You can do a dual shock stock track width front and that could be a build it as you go kit. 3.0’s now, buy the control arms as you can, weld on the secondary tower and install the secondary bypass. Note that you coilover should get re-valved when you add the bypass. Add the other parts as necessary. You won’t be able to build it as you go with a midtravel/long travel kit. If I remember correctly SVC’s mid travel pulls something like 15” up front with 4wd. A long travel front like HM for example pulls about the same, maybe 16”, if keeping 4wd and something closer to 20” if you lose 4wd. I assume the SVC mid travel will pull about the same if you dump 4wd. Apples to apples would be comparing SVC’s bumpstop to RPG’s bumpstop. The RPG RST16 is comparable to Icon’s RXT system. Longer shocks but you can keep the bed. Just need to decide how far you want to go and then you can pick what path you want to take. Have you ridden in different setups to see what works well for your terrain? That would go a long way toward deciding what route to go. [/QUOTE]
