    Yes, its still at like 28"... it's retarded. The leaf spring geometry needs some re-working so I'll be able to drop it back down to 25"

    Why? So you can tip over lol

    It says 37"s..... They are 37 x 12.5 x 15. Fully inflated they are only 36.5" and when I run them at proper PSI they are only at 35.5" at best.

    Tipping over can happen at any frame height and yeah while taller rigs have a easier chance of tipping over it just takes knowing your rig to back off.. though ill be on a full width axle with 42X14.50R17 and 3.75" of back spacing should make me very wide and about the same center of gravity as i am now.. and when i snow wheel ill have to dig my frame out less and ill be able to clear ledges better..

    No they are 2.0. Fitting a 2.5 would be more of a pain in the ass!

    I doubt I'll ever justify the need for 2.5's. All you get is extra cooling since there is more room inside the shock for nitrogen/oil. Other than that, they perform exactly the same unless you're racing Ultra 4 :cool:

    There is always something to challenge even the craziest rig. (at least out here in the south west, there is. :p)
    No it doesn't. :smack:

    I used the same excuse when my truck was 2wd... "I like the challenge" :rolleyes::rolleyes:

    Going bigger simply opens the door for bigger challenges, not smaller ones. :cool:

    There is pretty much no obstacle I will not try... 2wd and SFA is apples to oranges in challenge comparison... haha. The only obstacles I don't try are the ones that will DESTROY my entire truck with body damage... Otherwise YOLO
