sorry, missed the last little bit of your post That won't give me any more travel over what i have now until i change out the coilovers though, right?

You can buy it complete or just parts, Also it is now known you can get upwards of 17" of travel with a 10" travel shock.
of course you have to remove the coil bucket and fab a custom shock hoop/mount for the extra travel.

5,OK, im not gonna lie about this and throw some rubber-ruler number out there. With shocks, steering, and everything, 12+ inches. I wish I could lie and say 16, but its just not possible with a bolt-on kit. The upper limit is the inner fender, the drop limit is the lower ball joint or coil bucket or tierod (they all hit about the same time slightly different points depending on how you cycle it). With the CST spindle on a 2wd with modified steering, you can get about 1 more inch of droop (or 13+ total). For comparison, the CST lt kit gets 15" of travel. Even, my truck only cycles 15". With a properly valved/spring 2.5" coilover and the airbumps mounted out on the arm as we are doing, it will work really, really well.

We will be racing MDR (1450) on this kit by the end of the season (but with modified coilbucket and inner fender for 3" coilovers, 2.5 bumps and more travel, 14+ inchs looks possible without the inner fender). I will hopefully destroy evey weak link on the truck to find the weak spots so we can further improve the reliablity of our trucks. IE, new tranny mounts coming soon. As well as all the a-arm mount reinforcements.

Yeah you need longer brake lines
