The speed bumps at the mall are not that big up here!

To the OP, that's one hell of a truck!

Thank you very much. I love it!

Well, like I mentioned, I started buying parts about 8 months ago. But I was researching all the time. I was between ADV, Boatec (spelling), and SDHQ. I spoke to all, but I just kept coming back to ADV. Videos I pulled up people/ shops always raved about the fitment of ADV fenders. The owner was always available for texts or calls, almost immediately. Answered all my questions, as the others did too, sometimes not as quickly. But it was just "something" that I can't really explain that I chose them.

When I was going over my build with Sam and TMX, he said they mostly use SDHQ. I told him I wanted ADV, he said not a problem, and got them. They're all in the same ballpark pricewise.

Understood. I have looked at them all and they seem very comparable. In my search I was down to ADV or SDHQ as well. I don't think I could go wrong with either one.
How do you like the SVC trac bars so far? So for all the question.

Nice work. Looks great.

Well, with my Raptor, it's my daily driver. Although I can't wait to go off road with it, I still want it to be civilized on pavement. I bounced back and forth between the SVC trac bars, and the KHC trac arm. It seemed like a lot of guys were having issues with the KHC arm, and that made me shy away from them.

I know people will say you lose ground clearance (and you do), but I'm OK with that. The truck is really planted, I can honestly say I was more than surprised when I drove it. The rear hasn't kicked out over anything, and the Fox 3.0s are really smooth. People that I have given rides to have said they can't believe how smooth the truck rides. I figured with the Deavers, Foxs, and SVC arms it would ride like a truck, but it doesn't. The only thing I can compare it to was my lifted Avalanche that I sold this past Spring. That was rough on road riding!

Gotcha. I go back and forth between the 2 of those as well. I feel I will need one or the other after my motor swap and turbo swap.

The only thing I can say is the KHC you can install yourself. The SVC system has welding, which I have never done. I kind of like the fact that with the SVC kit it has an arm on both sides, sort of balanced. Now that's not a shot at the KHC arm, JMO. Either is a lot better than nothing.

I'm not a welder either but my homie doing my work is so might swing it SVC way. Also the rest of my build is SVC as well. Upper control arm, and tie rods, etc. Thanks for your time and help. Beautiful build!!

You're very welcome! Hope you got some ideas, and I look forward to seeing your build!

Remember, it's only money, you can't take it with you!

Awesome looking truck! Awesome build! Only problem I can see is that it's not mine. Seriously it looks like you did your homework and checked off all the boxes that you wanted.
