I'd like to hear what type of trails you guys have run, how you were modded, and how tough the trail was. I was just up at Rausche Creek, and ran the Greens (easy) and a few Blues (intermediate). I made good use of my sliders and skids. I'm running a 2" lift with 245/75-R16 tires. With the weight of my bumper and armor, I don't sit much higher than stock. |

Ive done the easy and intermediate and then I got on a hard trail and got some body damage but it had just snowed the night before I got there so it was all slippery and it was modded out pretty well. Have you thought about upgrading your front coils to OME? |

I'm looking at upgrading the lift to a Frankenlift or Rockfather lift. With the ARB I need a stiffer spring up front. Want to go with slightly bigger meats, re-gear and lockers. I want to be able to handle the black (hard) trails. BTW: nice paint job.

The "difficult" named trails as rated by Wells: Poison Spider Mesa Gold Bar Rim Golden Spike (all known as "triple whammy" together) Elephant Hill Hells Revenge I've also done Twin Cone but I'm not sure if it's considered officially as a difficult trial or not. We did some trails in TN during ECS but I have no idea what they were rated. |

Front OME HD's or the Frankenlift sounds like a major upgrade from the Rusty's. The Rockfather is from RRO, correct? Haven't heard of anyone running that... |

Do a search and see all the hate that comes from the Rockfather deal. |

I had a feeling it would. RRO seems like 2nd term Bush, KJ style. |

Yeah, i know the Frankie is a great lift. I just started looking into the RRO lift. Doesn't seem that different on first look, but as you guys state, I need to research the posts on it. Just found out I need new UBJs and UCAs to pass state inspection. So I'll order a set of JBAs, and I'm thinking while I got the suspension apart, I may as well do the lift. Just got to figure out where to get the $$. Anyone wanna buy a teenager?
