Your rite the price is up there but have you seen the quality up close. Maybe the function of the truck isn't still there but did you ever think he could care less. Why should you care if his trucks usuable. Oh and i'm not 18-20 cocksucker. Way to stereo type.

hey honestly, im not trying to talk sh!t right now, it looks like the carli, kore, and thuren trucks sit fairly low on the tires. When it goes to full compression when u land do the tires rub? Im really not trying to talk crap, cuz almost every truck that ive seen with that suspension on it looks like the tire to fender clearance is minimal

Yoy don't need or want too much tire clearance at full compression,it only adds to the center of gravity My carli set up allows me to run 37" Toyos. haul a@@ through the sh**.I am way past trying to impress the Kiddies with a too tall truck.
I ask my truck to do certain task at more speed than most are comfortable with on pavement.The articulation looks to be better than what I have seen in the pics on this thread as well.
I have seen the Firemans truck in action too.............it gets better with every trip

I'm sorry, your 21 in your sig so, barley legal. Shows in your responses (no need to stereotype on this one).

I really don't care what his function is w/ the truck. It lost a lot of what it is designed to do. Different strokes for different folks. What ever makes the dude happy.

The invite been in previous posts above. Have someone that has this lift come out to Glamis on January 31st weekend. Let's see what it can do on/off road. Then I can see the quality up close.

The Carli/Thuren systems are all about usable wheel travel (suspension cycling). It's not a lift. Really the only rubbing you may get if you use the wrong backspacing on the wheel. If you stick w/ a 5.5"-6" BS (or stock wheels) w/ stock fenders, no rubbing w/ 35"-37" tires.

KORE w/ 37" you will have to do some messaging of the rear stock fender unless going w/ fiber glass fenders at full cycle.

37" Yokohamas here with 2-1/2" lift front and maybe 1/2" in the rear. No rub at full stuff. Requires a new leaf pack in the rear that moves the axle back ever so slightly and careful wheel selection to clear in front. Slightly longer control arms help out in the front also.

Like Bob said, these suspensions are designed to maximize wheel travel with minimum lift. Tall lifts are bad news when running at speed off road. A low center of gravity helps keep the shiny side up!

35" Toyo MT's, 3" lift, no rub on or off road.

Might go up to 37's after the new CA's go in.

Proper wheel BS is the key to running big tires.

How much wheel travel do those systems have ?? The OUO kit looks like it has a grip of travel . Doesn't Carli just run some air bumps to make up for lack of up travel in the shocks ?

The air bumps are used just like in any other off road vehicle rookie
