On any sort of inclination great articulation just becomes dangerous as the risk of rolling increases exponentially.
    Not even slow off road mate, you stick a long travel shock in a small lift ( mine are over 200mm longer that a "standard" 4inch shock) you'll flex through most stuff

    Ive gotta get a set of coil retainers and longer shocks. And maybe even use my rig more, its been pretty tame of late.
    They've done studies, you know. 60% of the time, it works every time.

    Ben-e-boy, Yeah mate Treps are tops! Have just about trashed the 35's but they have lasted over 2 years and 2 vheicles ha ha
    Big lift IMO is only good for ramp over angles and getting booked ha ha they would be good for like big arse rock crwaling and that though

    Without starting a new thread once my cruiser sells i'll be upgrading my 31's. How do the fella go running 35's on stock gearing transfer/diff off road? I'm setting it up as a tough tourer and would like 35's but cant afford reduction gears to offset them so 33's are looking more appealing. Your thoughts?
