Yeah, cuz how many times did I ever jump my truck? Not once. 90% pavement pounder and otherwise slow trail riding. Road fine and I loved the look. So shoot me.

you hit a pothole and will use all of the 3/8 of travel. were not discussing long travel, were talking standard travel to get you through a normal day. You enter a steep driveway and boom you're on the stops.
 
I'm not gonna argue with you any more. All I said was it looks better with some height to the truck, not flat cuz that defeats the purpose of a lift IMO. It's not gonna be the death of the truck. If he doesn't wanna do it, he doesn't have to. I liked the way my trucks rode, sorry your vag is salty.

The real purpose of the lift is tire clearance and height, not ground clearance. :read:

is it that difficult to understand that having little to no down travel is how you bend/brake suspension components and get your teeth knocked out when you hit a decent bump?

sam, im not saying the ride is gonna be great. but in my mind, for what alecks is doing, it isnt going to justify the 3k he will spend.

i dont think he needs to swap crossmembers, but coilover swap and light crank for height but still maintaining angles and good travel numbers, not sitting just above the bumps. Thats a ride nobody likes, even at the mall.

i agree, i think switching to coil overs and keeping decent stuff is the correct move. i was basically saying i wouldnt waste nearly the money for a complete swap to a FTS is my big thing.
