    Lol yeah it's got a little rake but I actually prefer it. I'll snap a photo when I get to work.

    Don't get the expos. These are much to stiff for you. My plate bumper helps soften it a little but not much lol

    Oh I'm sure it's nice on the trails, but I'm just not used to the stiffness on the road. I wonder if it'll buck like my stock ones did when they'd hit the bumps, or if these can even hit bump. It seems almost impossible for me to hit bump now with these leafs haha

    Looks good...I just did that section 2 weeks ago at 20mph.

    Are your shocks in the factory location, and what shocks are you running? Ext. and collapsed dimensions?

    Ok cool. Just trying to compare to mine. I have the Icon 2.0 resis, stock length as far as I know. I haven't measured collapsed and extended yet. Just charged them to 200psi last night, they were at 150psi when I checked.

    Yep, that's my plan to break them in. I gotta move some sandbags this weekend, so that'll help. I might hit the trail behind my house for an hour and drive through the creek bed (big rocks).
