Pull my finger out hey?? LOL .. best I get onto that then!!!

Who really cares about "Axle Articulation" "Flex" whatever 1 shall call it. I don't care what lift is in and how much flex i might have, if i don't pick the right line I'm still likely to stuff up and get stuck on the same track that the standard patrol just nailed with ease. As some 1 said "DRIVE HARD OR GO HOME" *L*

Very true, a good driver in a standard car will likely get further than a standard driver in a good car.

Make sure you do a measurement with shocks, without shocks, with swaybar (with shocks on), without swaybars (with shocks on) ... bottom of wheel rim to the top edge of the arch. And some awsome shots to boot!!! LOL
