We were camped in Wash 15. Were you the blue T4?

Ok boys, lets get back on topic here.
LTI +5 kit 4130 plate laser cut & tig welded, box style, uniballs & pins replace ball joints, 300 M axels, King shocks.
HCR +5 mild steel (Prob 1018) laser cut & tig welded, uses 4130 mounting for stock ball joints, 4340 axels, King Shocks.
Funco +6 4130 tube tig welded, Uses stock ball joints, King shocks, 300m axels???? Being a +6 longer than the rest probably produces less wheel scrub than the other +5 kits. Less unsprung weight, I would think the Funco kits shock valving would be spot on and as smooth as a babby's butt(Grant knows shocks!!).
Somthing else to consider about the Funco, If you were to wreck your car wouldn't you want the A-arms to absorb the energy of the impact and not destroy the T4's frame itself......Its easy to replace A-arms but not the frame.
I think for the most part I have the facts straight, If not guy's & manufactures please pipe in and set us straight.
My pick would be the LTI......I like the Trophy Truck look!!!
I ment more to the effect of when wrecking the car and having the suspension absorb the energy of the impact or impacts (like in a roll over).......And hopefully the frame is ok.Zane, I think you are totally right about the kit taking so much but not the extent that if you hit something to big it will cause damage to the frame. To me some people are not so hands on and would have a larger price tag with a bent frame then a bent a-arm.
I have always like HCR products and would suggest them. My opinion tho.
I have LTI's kit on my T4 and love it. It works great in the rocks and just spent a week in Glamis and could hit some pretty big whoops at full speed and flew right on through. Very happy.
We are putting the final touches on our suspension system now. Keep your eyes peeled for a FULL build thread shortly!
