Here's my front end. Kevin at H&M did it. Super solid setup. Been very happy over the years with it.

That's such a sweet kit! How wide are you and is that a 10" stroke? I'm putting my list together for the coming years and its between a blitz mid travel and this HM kit. I live in Michigan, and am going to be riding in all sorts of different trucks to see what I think will be adequate. Really leaning towards the HM kit, and installing it myself. My next question, what is your rear end set up?

I love me a SCAB! Serious question, how are you liking the kit? Do you wish you went with a wider kit, or more so why did you go with the stock width? Are you on a deaver rear end? What would you change if you were to do it over again!?

Basically, thats just as far as I want to go... wider, more travel sounds good but then you are going to be limited by the rear leafs.

So far my rear is my limiting factor and I will keep working on it, but for my truck a center mount front end wouldn't make me faster than what the leafs are capable of.

My rear has basically a maxed leaf over set up without cutting the frame. It actually has 20.5" of travel metal to metal but is limited now to 18.5ish.

@2012SCSVT I've seen your build on here and BLGT, definitely an inspiration. Ordered a set of deavers today and hope to get a bedcage soon. Unfortunately I don't have the guts to fab my first one up. Any recommendations on the big name bedcages? Also, whose shackles are you running?
