    No clue man sorry. The 650lb springs are great though for what I have up front. The lighter Addicted Off Road bumper and the Come Up 9k winch.

    The stiffer valving is just that stiffer. I like it though because from what I have been able to test the suspension is more responsive.

    Why no 700 lb coils?

    And now it is time to move on to a more "EAF" style tire :D. 315/75/R16 Cooper ST MAXX. Only one highway drive under my belt but they are silent.

    Unfortunately I have not. It's a prototype from Low Range Off Road that sort of got moth balled shortly after it was installed on my truck. I don't believe they plan to resurrect the design into production.

    You are correct! I wouldn't want to screw up my frame that badly. I would just rather build a race truck that's dedicated to the whoops!

    The design is actually quite different from Billy's at Bruteforce. It is all Aluminum and was designed to be modular. Therefore bolted together rather then welded. Surprisingly it has held up rather well. I have made some minor tweaks here and there along welding a couple of parts on it to reduce vibration but so far it has held together. And yes the doors on the sides do swing up to allow side access to the bed. Also I can store items on the inside of the doors as needed.

    Did you notice a weight difference on your ride home with the ST MAXX? Fairly heavy tire, I think my 33's weigh in at 61 lbs or so. Not sure how heavy the trail diggers were in comparison.
