    "easy" being relative.

    I'm in a totally stocked '98.

    Only had 4 or 5 areas where clearance was an issue and had one instance where both my rear and front passenger side tires slid off their respective rocks at the same time: rocker panel crunch.

    I agree. I've been going to 3 or 4 campsites on the Middle St Vrain trail that can easily accommodate 4 trucks and probably 6 or 7 tents. Right on the Middle Fork of the St Vrain too. Beautiful spots.

    It'd be awesome to meet up for an overnight with a group.

    Once I get some sliders of course :)

    Because of the geometry of the uca's a top plate spacer roughly provides double the width of the spacer in lift. That is less true the bigger the spacer. And the top plate spacer I got from wheelers is 10mm...little bit bigger than a 1/4" spacer.

    no go to the old man lift page on their site...the "lift enhancer" is the 10mm spacer.

    Lol maybe run the setup without a spacer for awhile and see how much the new 882's sag. Then order the spacer that would put you closer to 3" in front.
