    Jacksonville, AL. Lots of challenging trails.

    I'd like for a good sized group to go so we can plan ahead more if need be.

    I might be able to. I will be more willing to challenge the harder trails, if I'm not comfortable, then I'll stick with the easier ones. Lol

    The "easy" ones can be butt puckering if you take the right line. There are tons on bypasses so it's really up to you how hard you make it on yourself.

    Looks like an interesting place. I am game once I get the new gears in the front differential. This weekend I installed the new axle and gears in the back, so I can't wheel until I get the front done. 4.56:1 FTMFW!!

    4.56 are tall enough for me since I am on the highway a LOT. 4.88 I think would be too much for my truck. lol.

    Well my motor is weak and I'll be on 33s.. I think 4.88s will be good, but I have a 4 speed so I'm worried it'll have really high RPMs at 65 or so.. They're high enough as is

    Yeah. That was my concern, and the reason I didn't want to jump up to the 4.88 gears. I get high enough RPMs from the 4.56 gears! lol. My little 4 banger will be fine with them I think.

    Congrats on the 300! Hahaha

    If I can get my gears installed in the front diff by then, I may come out.


    Grats on the sliders Matt!

    2.5' Fabtech Suspension lift. 285/75/16 Cooper STT's New headlights Surefire mount with Quick Fist Shrockworks bumper-3 wks out on delivery Light Force 240 Blitz arriving today
    What's up fellas?! Just needed some advice. I discovered this weekend that my new Cooper Discoverers are rubbing my frame. (damn) So it looks like I'll probably try some spacers. What size do yall think? 1" or 1.25"? I want most of the tire to stay under the fender flare. Not crazy about a whole lot of tire hanging out. So really just need enough space to clear the frame.

    Also, I'm currently running a Fabtech 3" suspension lift (sitting about 2.5") I'm considering a leveling kit for a little extra height and for my bumper that will be put on in the next few weeks. Suggestions for leveling kits?

    Thanks, here is how she sits right now...
