Dan your 60, shouldn't have any problems, there are only a few spots on the main trail that are a little rough. Mostly it's pretty mellow dirt road. The creek bed portions are as tough as you want to make them.

Are you sure you need those shock thingys and brakes? I mean really.:grinpimp:

Hey Keith, I don't know if you have ordered shocks yet or not, but I have a set of gas charged take offs from my Super Duty. They are just black, but only have about 10k miles on them and they are super long and are Eyes on both ends. Let me know, and they are yours.

I swapped out the TLS's for my old 33" BFG AT's today. Knowing my luck we will run into mud and not see any snow. BTW radials sure do drive a lot better than those bias ply Super Swampers.

YACK! YACK! YACK!!!!
Where's the pics of the run!?

Hey Jack,
On those shocks...Do you remember what the lengths are collapesed and extended?
Are they pretty stiff shocks?
Im thinking that Im gonna run the Doestch tech's 8000's or 3000's. theyre Only 38 bucks a piece, so Ill be saving about 150 from the Bilsteins...
If I can use yours, and save even more...BONUS!

Thanks for the offer.
I wish I could have been on that run too!

GET SOME DAMN PICS!

I didn't take any, but I know that a lot of pictures were taken, so hopefully some will be posted.

The shocks measure out: Front-23" extended 14.75" compressed
Rear-30.5" extended 19.5" compressed

The fronts are a little stiffer than the rear, due to having to support 1000+lbs of engine. The rears are softer. I took them off because I needed the stiffer settings of the RS9000's when hauling the cabover camper.

Let me know and we'll figure out a way to get them to you.

I need to teach :princess: how to upload pics to the forums*. She took a bunch but we didn't even look at them yesterday.


*And get her a login, but then I'd have to behave wouldn't I?:lol:

Hey Jack,
I just double checked the measurment I got, and the rears wouldnt work either, cuz the compression is too LONG on the ones you have!
Thanks for the offer though. After talking with you last night, Im more confused about what to get.
Ill probably end up being the tight wad that Iam normally, and run the DT's.

Rusty,
Load em your self! Youll be sorry if you dont!:skull:

I guess you'll just have to finish up your rig so you can go along now won't you. :flipoff2:










JK I know you are working hard to get your rig finished. DO NOT rush to finish, take your time and do it right.
