[QUOTE="occory123, post: 1238227, member: 24751"] My $.02, As someone that's had SVC recently install the "Podium Package" on their truck, front uca's & lca's, 3.0's and 3.5 bypass' and spindle mod, together with the rear 3.5 bypass', bumps and bed cage out back, I can tell you it's really unbelievable what the truck is now capable of. The whole truck is pretty dam bullet proof off road. While the truck is still comfortable for daily driving, it's much more aggressive than the stock raptor I brought in, be ready for a daily driving experience that is louder, much firmer, with less of a turning radius than your used too. The upside is, trails that would normally have your teeth shaken loose are now smooth as butter. I've scared my wife to the point she wont even ride with me off-road, and only a few of my buddies will even come back out with me. I find myself just wanting to go faster and faster off-road. Since the truck is so capable, and I don't have to rely on it as a daily driver, I find myself considering other safety options ie. cage, belts, brake upgrade. My impression is with the "mid travel" kit you will gain track width together with an even stronger ball joint / spindle set up, and another inch of wheel travel. However you will pay for it, in the kit price, labor, wider fenders, repaint, etc. If you'll use it or not will have to be determined. The mid travel kit is certainly a more "hardcore" set up, and I'd suspect you'd compromise some drivability. Either of the SVC kits when paired with their rear 3.5 Bypass, bumps and bed cage are simply amazing. I'd stick to having them do the install work, nobody knows their stuff better and their great guys to work with. Oh, and personally on a daily driver truck I'd stay away from doing long travel up front. [/QUOTE]
