    So after fixing an issue with my right leaf spring yesterday at about 4pm, Matt and I decided it would be fun to head out to Ocotillo for an overnighter.

    I was hitting them hard to put them through the paces. They are awesome! I was floating over the small whoops going 15 or 20 mph. Like butter......can't wait for the rears.

    I would say right at a full inch higher than the stock leaf pack with tsb and Toytec tsb aal. Better than the height is the softness of the ride, not stiff and it flexes nicely.

    Kick ass pics, guys. Reckless Taco was out there on Saturday as well. Too bad ya guys weren't able to spot each other out there. My turn is next weekend. A friend says he's gonna join me if he can get some better tires on his Dodge, but I've got the feeling he's gonna bail on me. I'll be there no matter what though

    A good camp out sounds verry-berry tempting. If my buddy bails on me this weekend (I'm almost sure he's going to), I'll join you guys in Barstow for the race and camping. I'll bring my heat gun to remove my TRD stickers and will try to pick something up to install- something cheap lol.
