The truth is I'm not really interested in height as much as function.
Here's what I told Greg and his response.

I have a 04 Titan XE 4X4. I live out in the country and own 160 acres and at times I need to travel across it to fix fence, rescue/feed cattle, etc. It's teeth rattling rough, full of ravines, small creeks, one river and all sorts of holes that when it snows you don't see until you hit them. Right now I use a tractor or my 72 Toyota FJ-40 to do this but the landcruiser is getting old and frankly I'm tired of freezing my butt off in the winter so I want to upgrade the Titan to do this and from the videos/pics of your truck I know it's possible.
As I see it, Max travel would be most welcome and if I need to change the front fenders to do this I don't have a problem with that. There will be cargo in the back and at times I'll be towing a trailer that I haul a tractor on but probably not a lot since I'm buying a 08 Titan later this year. I live in Kansas so the terrain is pretty flat with no rocks or boulders but it does Snow and since I have so many creeks and the river I see my share of mud.
Just so you know, I'm not interesting in monster truck tires or 12" of lift (We have trees here) I just want to get where I'm going and back without getting stuck, or smashing my head into the roof and loosening my teeth.
The guys were suggesting the performance package but when I told them all this they said to E-mail you. I own a welder, air tools, and my budget is open.
I'd like to do this once and be done with it so if in doubt more is better. (I'm sure I can adapt my driving style to your suspension package. LOL) Vroooom!

The best solution I can offer at this time is the SAW coilovers with
our new PRG upper a-arms and a set of Radflo 10" travel rear shocks.
Our rear spring upgrade is really good (better ride and load handling)
but may lift the rear a bit much and may be aesthetically not as
pleasing if you want he truck level (it will sit about 1.5-2" taller
in the rear than the front, still less rake than factory though). This
set-up will will set you back about $2k. If your carrying a lot of
weight, I would suggest an airbag set-up. Please give me a ring as I
would love to go over every detail to get you the exact set-up you
need that will perform to its fullest for the least expense. Talk to
you soon...Greg |
Then I heard about the Mid travel setup and got light headed.
