    You wont be disappointed by the 700s, i honestly dont think 650s would handle the weight of sliders, skids, bumper, and winch.

    Hmmm okay. I just looked through your build again and you seem to be able to stuff the front, that was my only concern.

    What do you run now? I don't think it will be an issue, when we picked ours up with the forklift it compressed about halfway and that's with no weight on the front

    Oh I'm very happy with the way my front setup rides and handles. I am currently replacing both lower uniballs already though, not stoked on that after less than a year of use (hard use, but still).

    Yeah that's a bummer because of the cost, I think @Mademan925 had to replace his bushings after only a few months of use?

    Tire size doesnt really come into play here i dont think, its driving and trail conditions. We have very fine silt and sand down here that i think did my lowers in, its basically impossible to keep them wiped down and semi clean like the uppers.

    Oh okay, makes sense. Did you use red loctite on them when you installed? Thinking about doing that so they don't loosen up
