You are one of our dealers...have you thought about running one of our offroad kits for an offroad truck instead of using a lift kit??

What are the benefits/drawbacks of your kit as opposed to a lift?

Long/mid travel kits are their specialty. Gives better handling, improved stability, wider stance, and greater suspension travel (usually). It's for a faster Offroad application such as desert racing or jumping from what I've seen.

The great thing about our suspension kits compared to a lift kit is exactly what tareed94 mentioned. More articulation, more wheel travel and just all around better performance!

The other thing not mentioned is that it's great as a daily driver as well! 90% of our customers use their truck as a daily driver.

These Kits will give you 4-5" of lift but at the same time, you can take it out and romp on it with out having your truck feel super stiff if you were doing it with your standard lift kit.

There is a little bit more maintenance with off road suspension but it comes down to how the truck is being used.

Great response.
Thanks for the response. I'll be looking into it more. Maybe if I ever end up with a newer truck, I'll have some money set aside for a nice setup from you guys.
