    I'm new to the Off Road scene but i'd say it's common sense to not go out by yourself right? Glad nobody was hurt!

    Thanks bud. I think I'll go for it. I had a good experience with them when I got my shocks and want to preserve my tires, so the alignment is a priority!

    Sometimes you want to go offroading and got no one else willing or wanting. They key is to be prepared. Always always ALWAYS leave a note, or tell someone where you are going, and when you will be back. Bring enough water for you to be able to walk from the farthest point of where you are going back to a main road (1 gallon per person per day). Have at least a basic first aid kit.

    There are always risks, no matter how many people you go with or how much you plan. That's life, without danger you'll never live. The key is to try to reduce some risks so you can keep on living.

    Its more lower speed type trails, there are a couple of rocky spots if you dare, but most of it is hardpacked dirt with rocks, lots of steep valleys, etc..

    Yeah its not ideal, but I go alone a lot, just make sure you have a phone (that gets service where your at) and a lot of water!

    Hey what happened, I thought I was going to build that for you?

    At least you get to use your suspension as intended now, should work a lot better now. Are they straight up and down or are they angled?

    They are almost 1.1 ratio, Sine I'm on a crazy low budget it was too good of a deal to pass up, Also swapped to a new magnaflow muffler and soon will have the front leaf hangers gusseted, wasn't enough time yesterday.

    Now it dumps just before the axle.
