Someone needs to think of us LCG guys in a long arm kit. At 4.5" now and thinking of dropping down to 3" or maybe 2.5".

I can assume I could run your long arms and it will just stretch my wheelbase out right? Or is there not enough adjustment to get caster set with that low of a ride height?

Correct on both counts.

TNT Customs has a kit for you LCG guys. Pricey and requires copious amounts of cutting and welding to make it work. IIRC, you can run a 35" tire with their LCG kit.

Still building 'em.

Do you're homework before buying some other kit based on price alone.

You're smarter than that.

No. My kit is good for 4" to 7.5" of lift over stock height.

Add a set of JKS ACOS up front or a set of 2" poly Coil Spacers.

does the 4.5in lift and 6.5in lift have the same amount of travel through the front shocks?

Oooooh no.

A two inch ride height increase will definitely need a longer shock.

I'm thinking he means the actual travel of the shock? ie: 4" up and 6" down for each (or whatever it happens to be)

A taller lift will require a shock with more overall travel. A shock for a 4.5" lift will act as a limiting strap on a 6.5" lift.
