I decided to do the RPG Stage Ross +

[Chrisandalex1]

Totally agree on the sprung under opinions regarding the front staying "stockish" but I've got to know Chris pretty well over the past year and I will say the guy doesn't have a stop button (i'll probably get the bird for that). LT front end is inevitable at some point. Stage Ross 3.0?

OK, so lets say I do LT Right now. We are still only talking about 16" max front travel.

I NEED 4WD, so any other option is out of the question. Plus, there is no way my wife is going to let me buy another DD. For that, I just need to upgrade her car, and I have my eye on the Hennessey HPE700.

There's kits out there claiming 18.5" while retaining 4wd and I've talked to some guys who are thinking 20" is obtainable with some creative front axel modifications.

Yeah, and how ridiculously wide is the truck then?

 

[Raptizzle]

Definitely ridiculously wide. It's a tradeoff I guess.

And only the front, I hate how that looks. There are soooo many POS trucks here in Mexico that do that, and it looks stupid.

Plus regardless of that, I haven't really had anyone convince me that we could keep a comparable ride quality on the road with a 4 link.

No way, you can match the rear end width with a fabbed axel housing. Look at the bright side, you can do the raceworks front clip now too! Okay, I'll stop...

HA, me too.

I hate weekends. I need to see pictures of progress....

BTW, I love ADD and everything they did on the truck. Just need to play.

LOL. I was thinking the same thing... at least there will be no stone unturned and all the ideas will be on the table. Good luck with the build I cant wait to see the outcome.

Easy solution is to get a replacement for your DD. You know a 4 link TT back half would be soooo badass. Besides, If you don't do it you're gonna kick yourself when you see mine!

So are you converting to 2WD and getting a DD?

What's your DD choice? And it's not like you need 4WD in SoCal.

Just saying...
