    How was the rest of that trail? I've heard it's reasonably tough? Bypasses for harder obstacles like this one?

    This is an optional obstacle, so normally you just drive right past it. The "wall" at the end is pretty easy if you pick the right line and the rest of the trail is just a gravel road with a dropoff. It's gorgeous though.

    Here are my pictures from the 2018 Fall Run. As usual I don't have too many pictures of Smokey since I was too busy wheeling. :D

    How much up travel are you running and what angle are your lower links at, at ride height?

    Around 4” of up travel and my lowers are down a few degrees from horizontal. I don’t have the exact numbe handy though.

    Last question, what length ORI are you using? I'm using 16" Kings, and wondering how your ride is with only 4" up travel. Any info I've gathered has been if you want to run down the highway aim for the center of shock travel. Crawlers can get away with less up travel.

    I’m running 14’s

    Up travel is needed for the whoops and jumps, not running down the road.

    Thank John!

    Yeah the whoops and jumps guys tend to build with more up travel than down travel, I should have said an all rounder is more in the middle of the travel. Thanks for the info. I'm shooting for 6-7 inches of up travel. Our trucks are near the same, with exception to mine is has a longer box and the later Super Duty axles. Tires and Rims are the same though.
