    Yep just keep them in H until you need to crawl something really steep. That's where there advantage lies. I want to do a single doubler and think that'll suit my needs just fine.

    Yes you'll need to shorten the rear and lengthen the front.

    Yeah, I just looked...not as close as I thought...for some reason I thought he got his start down near Moab, but I am probably up in the night. He is however more local to me than all you east coasters! Only about a 10 hr drive for me! :rofl:

    Tyler even I had husky fur in my truck after FPK. Haha! I think I probably brought it into the cab with me after that first obstacle where I was holding her leash while you attempted the climb.

    I have 4.88 gearing. I may go 37s but not likely anytime soon. I mostly want it for the ground clearance and bulletproof steering. I'm a sucker for some droop so I think I'm going to do 63s. Will know for sure after checking out skips. I'm going cheap on the rear 14 inch billies and Ford towers is what I'm thinking for now.

    Yep but that King Blingfactor! Also chech those Billie fully extended and compressed lengths. Once I do mine you can measure if you go with a similar spring set up. Mine is a little different from the status quo since I went with a totally different pack. You will have a ton of droop out of that set up bet be limited in up travel pretty good.

    It's just her way of saying thanks and that she loves you and everyone and everything because her fur gets everywhere. You get used to it after a while.

    Was it the trail toys guy that went with 5 inch skyjacker and took out one of the leafs? I want to still be 2-3inches of rear lift fully loaded and towing my trailer.

    Yeah but he is also a lot taller at 26" frame height or something like that. You'll be able to accomplish that height with a 4/1 or 3/1 spring pack. I would suggest buying new and looking at the specs of the springs
