Looks good! You boys need to work on your flex and let some air out of those tyres though ;)

Some 4.16 tbox gears would be a good investment as well.

im not blaming my saharas for the complete mess getting up the second step.. its my crap standard length rear shocks.. they have less than 1 inch downward travel.. so my car usually has only 3 wheels on the ground when off roading lol

Some longer shocks next on the shopping list then. What pressure are you running? I would drop them pretty low for rocks tbh, it will help you climb without the need to bounce up.

30psi at the moment.. mostly for fuel saving and lighter steering... but yeah softer would be a lot more comfortable on rutted ground. and better to climb rocks.

:shock: 30psi??? Bet that rides like a rock, standard pressure is 20psi, on larger tyres with thicker sidewalks it's often better to run less, especially on remoulds as they don't like to flex. Also you are possibly going to increase tyre wear at 30psi as you'll mostly be running on the centre of the tread.

I run on 18-20psi on road and drop them down to 10-12psi for off-roading unless it's laning or not very challenging terrain.
