I am interested in hearing about how you will use this. 42s are massive. Looks cool.

Great choice on the suspension but I recommend switching to regulsr disconnects in the front and the antirock in the rear
I have the long arm F&R version of the RK kit. Thats the best way to get the 4 link to work for you out back

42s on factory D44s ? Factory brakes? How does it ride on the street with the 4+ lift ? It is a beautiful build but using it in serious off road might not be much fun.

With Welded trusses and frequent trips to big box retailers, I have no fear with this setup. If you look above in the feed you'll see i have a dedicated rock crawler for that reason.

On a side note. Handles incredible, brakes feel the exact same as if it were in stock form. Later this year it will be supercharged and on tons. As for now, it's beautiful to look at, lol

The RK 4 link even with the mid arms on 4.5s rides really, really good.

With all I have done to my suspension and it still rides somewhat stiff on the streets. Congrats on a beautiful build.

Cool build, but I’d be real leery of supercharging a 3.6l unless you’re doing internal improvements.
