Still, very nice work and innovation.

I agree... to a point. Then you get into the situations where more lift = rollover no matter how good of a driver you are. I have done everything I can to run a 37" tire with as little lift as possible. Because of that, I have hit just about everything under my rig. (And on the sides of my rig, for that matter!) The problem isn't always drivers skill, it's the rocks are too big or too slick. Then again, I tend to put my 80 in places most people wouldn't.
