    very cool vids..looks like it left hard, maybe think about a small bumper swap to drop some weight...those things are heavier than you would think..

    It has 57 Fairlane 9" in it, stock leaf springs, heavy duty shocks, and caltrac's. I set the caltrac's to recommend baseline setting, and left them alone. I am running a 275/60 drag radial. It had a bad bog out of the hole due partially to hooking so good.
