    Bob Santa Fe Rock and Gravel has one. Hell I weigh 5240 without my small bed rack when I go in there to get stuff. I bet you are real close to 6k if not over.

    No you take oxford west from Santa Fe, almost until federal (just past the Costco). Its right by that park/lake place just south of Oxford.

    I just do manual labor around the property to keep it looking good. Its a nice part time job to have during school, and the people who run the place are really nice.

    I'll bet you are pushing 6K with the tent on. I am pushing 6K completely unloaded now...

    Last time I weighed my rig was when I had just got the skids and rear bumper on and which it empty of gear and people it weighed just over 5400lbs.

    Way too late to ask now... But you should have had Jace cycle your suspension with the bumps and C/O's out. I am curious how much more articulation those lower uniballs have over the factory ball joints.

    My lower control arm are definitely my limiting factor on my travel both up and down. Though I couldn't gain anymore up travel if I wanted to with rebuilding my bump stop mounts. haha Also my CV's don't bind at full droop/full lock with the ORI out, but just looking at them they have to be getting close.

    Just looking at this pic the bushing aren't a limiting factor anymore. haha I know my factory ones won't do that at all:cool: Hell I had to have a pry bar to get them low enough to get my 5100's in.

    you can definitely tell a difference with the poly bushings.. much more free flowing movement...climbing that rock above was very smooth going up...and even through turns you can notice a difference
