    Shoot me a text if you need any pointers. Pretty straight forward though.

    Yeah keep going straight down dome road (dirt). You start the hike on the backside with the approach to it through a wash. Once you get the base of the "wedding cake" I'm not sure which way to go. We went left around the backside and came up empty. I think there's a better way up around the front side.

    I think there might be some better descriptions if you do a google search.

    So how much do you want for those used shocks you have there buddy? The ones that are too long, not the OE ones.

    I don't know. Looks kinda iffy to me. Might as well sell them to me for like $100 or so since they are used and all.



    Just kidding, they look great.

    Bump stops are crucial to long shocks. I told you they would work as long as you have long bumps. Now take us a picture of that shit all dropped out! That's the gooey part!

    If you watch the scratch and dent listings on the icon site you can get them for about $100 probably. That's how I got mine hehe

    I was just giving him a hard time. I am not ready to upgrade my suspension as of yet. Can't afford it, going to be replacing pretty much everything when the time comes, but for now what I have works just fine.
