    I don't yet have enough posts to put this in the FS section, but I would much rather post it here first:

    I have a pair of OME 883 springs which I'd like to trade for some 882's. I picked them up with the thought of adding more weight to the front end (other than my ARB bumper), but that looks to be a long way off and I can't justify the current rough ride. They are currently still on the nitros on my truck, with less than 10k on them

    Can anyone give me some insight into what life is like in Missoula? I know its fairly liberal, but is it a nice area with stuff to do? It's a possible location for grad school for me.

    Liberal-ness: Eugene>Missoula>Corvallis
    Similar to willamette valley but the mountines are closer, biking/hiking is closer (like in town close) skiing is closer, rafting and floating the river is similar to Eugene/Corvallis. Food is probably on par with Corvallis, worse then Eugene. lots of breweries. Nice campus with similar football vibe to UO and OSU. but I think co-eds are...higher quality at Oregon schools. :notsure:

    Co-eds doesn't matter to me being a married man with kids... haha
    But that's some good to know info. It looks beautiful and like there'd be tons to do whenever I've got free time.
    I've heard there's a decent amount of crime there, is that true?

    No worries, I'm in the same boat actually, just given ya the lay of the land.
    There is some crime here but definitely not worse then Eugene. Maybe on par with Corvallis? Bike theft, drugs...crap like that. Homeless/panhandler population migrates in for the summer, but again, nothing like Eugene. Probably a little more dependent on neighborhood as well. Our doors get pretty routinely left unlocked, wife will accidentally leave the garage door open sometimes and nothing disappears.

    There is a ton of outdoor stuff to do, plus some cool kid stuff. but if designer shopping is your game, you are screwed.

    I think it was around 11 Saturday night, we were outside of Missoula. The camp neighbors spotted them first. I thought the guy was just drunk so I ignored him at first :laugh:
