If I had to do it again I would consider up front, King Coil overs combined with Baja Kits control arms you will get up to 3 inches of lift and 9 inches of travel and an amazingly smooth ride on rutted out roads and good ride on the street too. I think that set up needs to be ordered as a kit to get the right shock length. I have a 23.6 inch coil over king shock with a 4 inch. I think the stock length is around 17 inches

Or you can go with the Pre runner kit for 11.5 inches.

If I had a place to drive it to its full potential, I'd definitely go Long Travel haha. Though it would be fun to daily one haha. Baja Kits are nice. LSK makes some pretty nice stuff too, not sure if Mazzulla is still doing full kits but they made some desirable kits. I think they're in the control arm game now.

Man, some pre-runner/long travel kits get up to 18" of travel. Pretty nice, definitely not bolt-on and a more involved install but well worth it for what you'll get.

Looking forward to see what you go with for fenders.

Nice, definitely post up when you get them.
I saw those on Instagram. They look pretty slick.
Someone needs to come out with some rear fender for us SUV drivers.

I have 10 inches of travel on my daily driver it has a very comfortable ride on and off road. Long travel if done right is great hit speed bumps and not care at all.

I will have to check into these I am starting to get the itch again on some new modifications. I have been thinking about just forming up some metal flares and welding them in...

How much of a lift did you get from your kit (Dirt King, correct)? My biggest complaint is having to climb in. That's what I like about long travel, you get a lot of travel but still pretty low-slung stance.

This has been something I have been contemplating for a long time. I'd prefer metal.
If you make any metal flares, make two sets, I'll buy a set.

Pretty old, but fiberwerx now makes a tahoe/ suburban front fender and there are several long travel kits out there.

1low had mentioned the fiberwerx fenders earlier in the thread
It's funny to think that there are options now for LT kits.
