[QUOTE="Doc Constantine, post: 1235592, member: 3628"] Number 1 rule about Rogue's cantilever: don't let rogue install it, I had mine over there twice and they couldn't get it right. I've had the stage 4 front and sprung under cantilever rear for just under 2 years and lots of off road miles. Other than the install (shocks weren't tuned and I was told they were - and not to mess with them, there's a brace that's too long and pushing the spring shackle out of alignment) it has the potential to be a good system, lots of moving parts and expensive, but it keeps your bed 100% intact, which I needed at the time. The springs they sell with the sprung under kit aren't able to carry much load either, so once I loaded up with spares etc I lost all my bump travel - I use 100% of my bump stops and still take hard frame hits. I've taken the truck to deaver for re-arching of the springs, still have the squatting problem. Oh, and this thing articulates like a ****, once you move up to BFG projects the tires start slamming into the bed's wheel wells. SVC is having good results with a bypass rack and track bars. I've ridden/driven in a truck with a BOLT kit up front and SVC bypass rack and things were much smoother than my truck - it rides the way I want my truck to ride. I'm trying to have the shortcomings of the Rogue corrected (custom rear springs for the weight of my truck and professional shock tuning). Once I'm done hopefully I can compare mine on the same section of trail with [MENTION=18590]raulsterXDozer[/MENTION] and [MENTION=9079]m3dragon[/MENTION]. I'll probably just SVC LT and link it eventually anyway, I've seen SVC's customer service and support first hand in the field and they are far better than the rest. I know people who've waited up to a year to get their complete suspension kits from RPG. I see you're in SoCal too, you really should come out to one of the runs ([url=http://www.raddrives.com/offroad-runs/]Off-Road Events | Road Adventures[/url]) you can take a ride in just about any configuration of kits listed and let your ass decide what's right for you. I wish I had. FWIW Robby designed the Rogue set up, I think it's interesting that the kit he put his name on has a bypass rack, not cantilever. Could have been cost or simplicity, but it's still worth noting. [/QUOTE]
