    Yeah from what I’ve heard pretty easy with some great veiws! Maybe a couple of rutted out spots but nothing too bad. Probs like lakeshore trails.

    @Jerneyman do you give such a warranty deal on your sliders? If so, sign me up for your next build out. :D

    It’s fun for what it is.

    Just don’t forget where your stuck truck is at night

    From what I have seen, it’s mostly clay trails and mud.

    Don’t you have sliders and skids now?

    Lol. I’ve seen how some of you guys drive. A warranty would be a bad idea on my end.

    okay guys with lifted trucks, if i'm looking at suspension lifts (3" front / 2" rear) what should I go with? Pitfalls to look out for? I've seen some complete kits out there that will keep me under $1000. I'm looking for the ride to stay nice on the road, so super flexible is not a real priority.

    Do something other than a single add-a-leaf in the rear because they ride like crap. A full leaf pack is the best choice as far as ride quality. A progressive add-a-leaf would be better than a single and is a bit cheaper than a full leaf pack.

    That was the kit I ran for the longest plus some Total Chaos UCAs. Worked well for me until I kept adding weight to the truck’s front end. I enjoyed the ride comfort.

    Yes there are some pretty big obstacles in some parts of the trail. Its a lot of red clay and mud in some areas though. Its pretty fun when its dry. You guys with 4wd would probably like it in some areas its near the rock quarry so its pretty rocky.

    Not sure I have seen a "progressive add-a-leaf" while I've been looking.
    From Website: "Toytec rear Add-A-Leafs. Provides approximately 1.5"-2" of lift. This long style AAL offers a great ride and has anti-friction pads already installed. Fits standard 3 leaf springs and 4 leaf or TSB springs."
