    How do you like the ride of the 6112s?

    Very nice. I have 650# springs to help with the added weight of my winch, aluminum bumper and aluminum skid plates. It handles the weight very well and soaks up bumps (pot holes, etc) excellent. Should have come from the factory this way.

    Thanks for reply! I am also surprised you get that much lift on the 2nd notch!

    Anyone heard of issues with people sticking shit in snorkels like they used to with gas tanks? I know the low life’s of our society probably don’t even know what they are but still, it’s got me worried.

    The idea is the air gets sucked (yellow lines), and if there is moisture or dirt gets sucked it drains through a small openings at the bottom (blueish lines) It's also easy to clean in the case of complete mess and rises intake well enough for water crossings, assuming you aren't planning on being a submarine.

    in the case where water intrudes that system, the initial angle doesn't let it go into intake box.
