    So just to confirm, my 2wd, prerunner will be fine for this trip? Lift has not come in yet, I just have A/T tires. Should I do the Differential breather mod before we go?

    I am getting my leaf springs replaced tomorrow under the recall. I will pick up the parts need.

    Well, I am not getting the recall done tomorrow. When they called to confirm my appointment, I asked if they had the part in stock, because I wanted to make sure they were doing the work that day. (I have already had it inspected, they told me to wait on the letter) They said "Oh, no the parts are on back order" guess I will keep waiting. Which means they may not get replaced before the lift :rofl:

    Wonder if you can take your old ones in and just get them to give you the replacement springs and say you are doing the work yourself? Then you'd have a nice set of stock springs if you ever wanted to return to stock.

    Nope, they will not do give parts.

    Sliders or skids? But you should be fine with 2wd. Diff breather, yes, you will most likely dunk your rear differential. While it is not a requirement, why chance sucking water into the diff.

    No skids or sliders, hoping to start on amour soon. I might go ahead and skip this run, with all the considered. I will feel a lot more comfortable with it lifted and sliders.

    Agree with JMY24 on both parts. It isn't that bad. And by riding, you can really see what is on the trail and if you wanted to do it the next time.

    Of course, but lets try not to get the numbers to high. Would take forever to get 15 trucks through the trails.

    Go ahead and take me off the list for sure. I will shoot for the next riding trip.

    With all these trucks going, I almost went to suggest going to a bigger place. Though I believe that would be a bad idea this late in the setup.

    Is the Slab not very big? We have had some massive convoys over in Georgia and it's never been a huge problem

    It should be fine. We've just never had more than 4 trucks on a slab trip. I just want to make sure everyone has a good time.

    The slab is probably about 30 acres or trails or so.
