GEN 2 SVC Mid-Travel Kit Worth it???

[an48customs]

Thinking about which direction to go for the Raptor. It's a 2019 with live-valve but i dont mind capping the valves off in exchange for a better setup.

Purpose: 50% daily, 50% weekend warrior.
Terrain: Johnson Valley, Mojave, Pismo/Glamis dunes. I push her pretty hard on the dirt roads and while i'm not doing the Baja 1000 anytime soon, I don't like to put myself in situations where i WISH i had something that I don't. Given said that,

Choice 1: SVC Mid travel kit: I view this as an all-inclusive kit since it comes with beefier coilovers with secondaries up front, axles, LCA, UCA, spindle gussets, hydro rears, leafback, tie rods, etc.

Choice 2: Another equivalent with Kings?

Let me know what else is out there before i drop $16k on this sucker! haha

I think you need fenders with mid travel
and also through the bed long travel rear shocks, bed sides etc
for a balanced suspension
16k$ is not enough

Front Fenders, yes.

You only cut through the bed for long travel. the SVC mid travel kit rear shocks dont cut up through the bed, nor do u need bedsides.

I dont mind cutting through the rear bed, nor getting front fenders which are minor details. I'm focusing on the best 50/50 road/off road suspension setup out there for the money

I daily drive mine and have never looked back. The only thing that will slow you down is the fact that you don’t have a cage and wont want to out drive the rest of the truck. I’m paired with SVC’s rear bypass cage and Fox 3.5 bypasses through the bed/Deavers etc.

Got any photos of the setup?

I would pull up Zombiekiller’s write up on his truck. He has one of the more modded Gen 2s and has an interesting take on if he had to do it all over again.....

Let see that bad boy! What was the OTD cost? I’m guessing about $25k?

 

[Peterb]

I just priced the rear bedcage, shocks 3.5, $10k with labour, the front mid travel makes you 6” wider I believe, so then you need to match the rear at least with spacers or something and bedsides, mid travel front at what $15k needs labour too which would be significant, kickass set up but maybe $35k all in

You sure Foxes live valve upgrade/Deavers/bumps would not be enough. Seriously, if you really are going to spend that much time on the street?

SVC all the way. If you use the truck, the different geometry of the SVC mid travel is great and completely changes the truck. I use it as a daily driver. SVC knows what they are doing and if you have any issues they will take care of the problem.
