Nice spot, looks like a bumpy ride in...jealous
The beauty of this trail is that there’s a loop to get in and out from the cabin. There’s an up and down rocky mountain road and a super rocky canyon road.

There’s also a nice 3 or 4 rated cliff rocky road, but overall the trail is easy except for the loop and the cliff rocky road

I felt the need to add an extra 0.8” rubber spacer to my rear timbren bumpstops which already had a 1” hockey puck spacer to better protect the compression of my LT Icon 56550 rear shocks.

These shocks have a compressed length of 17” which is kinda long for a gx470.

However, I feel that my HD Nolathane sway bar and long travel dobinson c59-701v coils do a decent job of restricting max compression on the shocks, but still needed to feel safer with extra spacers.

Anyways, I hope this helps someone with a similar setup in terms of the numbers.

Timbren rear bumpstops are 5.25” with a compression of about 2.25” per spec

Added an 0.8” round rubber spacer and a 1” hockey puck spacer

So my bumpstops are a hair taller than 7” and compress about 2.5” max.

Tires are 34” by 11.2” Yokohama Geolandar MTs (285/75R17) on zero offset 17x7.5 Foxtrots

Ramps are 12” tall in each cross corner for a cross travel index of 24”

Front tires clear in ramp by a hair

Rear tires touch by a hair in rear of wheel well

But this is close to my max articulation.
