Trying to decide what lift to go with and wanted to hear from some folks that have a TS (just using the LCAs) on their Riggs or extended travel kits like the MK84 at Nisstec.
I've got a DYI GFC style camper on my 16 Fronty. It's not a DD it's just an adventure rig. I spend most my time on the highway but I do usually drive fast on roads that allow it (40-50 on crappy washboard roads). I don't really go wheeling, sometimes scenic drives, but mostly driving crap roads in AZ most the year to go places to hike/camp. Once or twice a year I do a long trip, last was going up to the PNW but I do go to Utah a good bit. I did get in over my head recently on a head trail that claimed a mud guard, bet the factory rad skid up and gave me a few scratches on the belly, just a really crappy rocky jeep trail where my GF had to get out and spot me a lot. So that got me thinking it's probably time for a lift and skid plates before I screw up too much.
So my biggest question is the Fronty still a decent highway driver with a TS? I tend to cruise the highways here in the SW at about 80. I don't plan to get bigger wheels, just keep the stock rims and maybe go up a size in tire when it's time to get new ones. I'm not too worried in the price difference of the TS vs like a 3" MK84 (which is what I'm thinking if doing if I don't do a TS) I'd rather just cry once. I just hear the TS is the biggest bang for your buck. Appreciate anything you can add.
