Keep in mind, true ground clearance comes from larger tires. So I guess you really need to figure what size tire you're going to go with. I'm kinda old-school when it comes to lifting/off-roading, I guess. I would determine just how large of a tire you want. If it's a 35, the MT kit would be more than enough lift, plus you'll get more suspension travel. Also, the higher you physically lift your vehicle, the higher you shift your center of gravity. This can be a bad thing on truly technical trails, and would be another reason to go MT (4") instead of CST (7").

I don't know that I'd be too concerned about the wider track in the front. After all, we have half-ton pickups. If I wanted something for rock crawling or technical trails, I'd go with an old Landcruiser or Jeep, or maybe a Scout II. The Titan's wheelbase is a tad long for this application.

Either way, your truck will be much better than stock with a suspension upgrade. I currently have the PRG Performance Pkg. and love it. I'll probably upgrade to the MT kit in the next few months.
