    Are you dragging your pumpkin or high siding?

    A lift will surely help the high siding, but only larger tires will help the pumpkin dragging.

    Removal of your steps will aid in high side issues - if that's a problem.

    IMO I would get some skids or sliders before a lift that way you can drag your way across stuff without worry :D

    My main issue on any trails is high siding due to the long wheel base followed by lack of traction when 2 wheels are in the air due to LSD/open.

    Ah. Not usually. I was wondering about sliders but they just look like more than I really need. I don't go too crazy out there.
