    I like what jimboo did though, forgot he’s TW name red something I think. He’s running airbag. He mount only on the top, acting like a bump stop. So the leaf spring is not attached to the frame. he get a little bit of a flex, I assume he deflates the bag too while wheelin.

    Or longer shackles? With inverted shackles, the longer they are the less lift you have no?

    That could be a reason. That and some people don’t run their rigs hard enough to notice an issue or don’t know any better.

    Correct but i remember him needing to add air to the bags while wheelin so IDK.Thought it was because of the weight he had in the back because of it being to much so instead of it helping the travel it was over sagging until he aired up which put it back into the overall perpective.So not airing down but airing up was necessary which could fluctuate in different circumstances.

    I'm running the heavy dakars with only an ARE shell on the stock Baja shocks.

    It's a bit stiff but hoping it will get better after HC rear is installed.

    Eventually 12" Kings though .

    It’s funny coz people stop at the fwy exit and start snow sledding, unusual for them to see snow in that area

    That's an idea.

    Tentatively getting it installed this week. If that falls through we should talk.

    Why you thinking of going back to the standard bumper? Weight?

    Just remembered the passenger side is bent up when my exhaust hit the bed side doing MJT.

    I'll post a pic tomorrow.

    That’s an option but then you’re decreasing the weight benefit factor.
