Brenthel long travel install

I have a question. You said you use it for work every day. What do you do for a living? That sounds like the sweetest job ever

When can I drop my truck off so you can do this to my truck??

Your wife wouldn't let you, so who are you kidding

Being that he is in Alberta, I would bet he's in the oil patch.

Pipeline construction project supervisor.
Do everything from municipal water lines to oil lines. Project I just finished was a 27 kilometre long 20" raw water supply line for a SAGD plant.

what company?

what company?

I can discuss via pm, but don't really want to mix business and pleasure. Don't want to defame the company if I were to come across as a **** at some point in the future !

Just an update.
Broke a drivers side cv joint, and decided to pull it out along with the rest of the 4wd stuff.
I am finding zero issues with getting stuck, the lt lets you carry more speed through big mud holes and what not without losing momentum when you hit those hidden ruts and holes that are hiding under the water.
I'm liking it enough that I've ordered brenthel's 2wd spindle to replace the 4wd ones. They provide a lift to the front end, with less spring preload, and provide better geometry for the suspension compared to any 4wd setup.
Note the relationship of the center of the wheel to the lower control arm in this picture of the 2wd spindles:


The giant ddl kit is also about ready to go on, just waiting on the bed cage to be finished.

Yeah hurry up with the giant ddl, I want to see that ish.

Shoot, me too.
It was paid for a long time ago.
After Giant had built my ddl kit and specified the shocks from king, they told me they had a jig for building f150 bed cages specifically for the ddl kit.
So I added that on to the order.
It's been the hold up for over a month now, starting to wish I'd simply gone with plan A and built my own...

I hope my jealousy doesn't reflect in my bank account lol
