It's the factory AHC with rear springs for NON-AHC equipped 100 series.
altar did you change anything else? do you have a front locker?
No lockers.
No beer = 2 wheel driving!
Nothing creative, but some strangely fascinating tire POV video from the Elephant Hill trail a couple weekends ago.
Some good rocky stuff about half way through the vid.

neat!
what's with all the concrete on the rocks in the beginning?
interesting how a wheel can climb sideways on rocks with very little contact and deformation or even just about only the sidewall.
You must have had pretty high pressure in there still, looks like, though.
amazing those IFS components last as long as they do
(the onedrive download could not keep up btw)
The trail is maintained by the National Park Service. Years ago they filled in many holes with concrete, which undoubtedly reduces some fun factor, but the initial climb is a bit exposed.
I'm running ~32 psi in the front. On the 275/75/18's it's about where I feel comfortable. There are a few shots where the tire deforms enough to see that any lower would but the rim at risk.
If it was not obvious, the first half or so of video has the playback speed increased.
Wow 32 psi isn't that much lower than what I run on the street! I can't imagine there's much sidewall flex at that pressure!
Watch through the video. There are several instances with as much sidewall flex as I'd ever want with a short sidewall like this.
This is also a light 2-ply sidewall.

I may have misremembered 32 psi as the front. It might be 30 front and 32 rear. Definitely not below 30 cold psi up front.
Everyone has their own comfort level, but you don't really have any sidewall bulge/flex while stationary which seems to be too high of a pressure. I think the effect of watching the tire closely in the video exacerbates what you're thinking because it's pretty rare to have your eyes on the tires 100% of the time. I'm sure if I saw what my tires were doing sometimes I'd think they were about to blow
. I usually run 20 psi off road, and you can definitely see the tires folding over obstacles and while it looks like it would damage them I have yet to (knock on wood). It is important to note though that I have a 16" rim so lots more sidewall, and I run E rated DTs which are probably more plies than what you run. If you bring air with you and a spare, maybe experiment with 26-28 psi to see how it works. I can definitely tell you the ride is far less bumpy over washboard and rocks with lower psi too!EDIT: Here's a pic of the tire around 23 psi, and it has a slight bulge which is just about where I like it for the wheeling I do.
