    I rode stock shocks in the rear with a single AAL for a while with no issues.

    I rode stock shocks with a single AAL and a 1" block for a while and the shock would constantly overextend as it was the limiting factor of my suspension. It makes a very terrible pop when the shock overextends.

    I am currently running Bilstein B110s (11" travel) shocks with a single AAL and 1"block with no issues other than the factory leaf pack sagging from the weight if the tent.

    In a few months I will swap to a heavier full leaf pack.

    You can do a lot at Choccolocco in a stock suspension truck. I think me and @tweakit88 both agree you should probably have sliders and possibly skids before going there.

    Hmm. Guess I'm going to be limited to pipe until I have somewhere to store a trailer.

    You can haul flat stock in the truck too similar to tubing. Also, if you got them to cut the sheet in half in a 4x4 section, it would be manageable in the back of the truck. A whole sheet of 3/16 is about 250 lbs so its difficult to manage alone even getting out of a trailer.

    I just built a rock crawler so I’ve wasted an ass of money. I think I’m choosing who I hangout with poorly

    @EddyRRT is an awful influence.

    "hit it don't babysit it" is the first thing I think I ever heard him say.

    I'm pretty sure Alex is locked front and back. That is an old ARB demo truck he is driving.

    I was right there with ya on my first trip to Chocco with full skids and sliders. You just have to get comfortable with the truck. There are several guys in here that are regularly on the rides that can talk you through an obstacle.
