Brenthel long travel install

[ntm]

Pulled the trigger on the giant daily driver link kit.
King is rolling up a 2.5" coilover and a 3.0" bypass, and Geoff at giant is welding up links and brackets right now.
Should have it in my hands in a couple months !
Price was close to just doing a bed cage/16" shock/sprung under, and cheaper than doing the cantilever/sprung under.

Just out of my curiosity, going from daily driver to beast mode like this, does your shock setup make those clicking sounds like all these videos I keep watching when suspension upgrades are done? Is it just louder to the camera and not as loud to our ears when we would be driving it? Granted I do have the SW headers and lightning exhaust, but I'm just wondering if you can hear the clicking noises and if it gets annoying after a while.

Nope, bit more "clanky", but nothing intrusive.
Things go to hell when you put a roll cage in and tie that into the suspension.

Nice, are you doing your business with giant by phone, I cant pull up their website. Also, mind PMing me what they quoted you?

You using a bolt-in bed cage...or welding one in?

Welding one in.
Similar to this, but through the bed, with some sheet metal work to enclose the shock mounts/shocks.

Thats awesome

Sounds like an awesome setup. Shoot me a PM if you're ever down this way and want to do a desert run with it.

NTM,

You sending the truck to Geoff or doing the install yourself?

What's the advantage to the Giant Daily Driver Link over the 3.5" bypass with leafs or the cantilever kit? And what are some of the drawbacks? Is there a large advantage to getting rid of the leaf springs and have a coil over and bypass in the back? Isn't the up-travel still going to be limited by the frame in the back?
