Re: ProComps, Fabtech, and Ranchos installed!
So we wheeled today and I FINALLY got a chance to give the new mods a test.
The tires are GREAT! I love 'em. They walked up everything today with very little spin.
I'm not sure how much credit to give the tires vs. new Rancho shocks vs. the new steering stabilzer. But I gotta say that I was blown away by how much better my rig rides offroad. unbelievable.
The steering stablizer in an ABSOLUTE must for anyone that wheels. You can really feel that thing dampen that previous whipping motion I used to have. I'd say my steering was 10x smoother that it was before, and that was when I had smaller tires (35s). No more death grip on the wheel required.
I'm finally sold that good shocks make a difference. When I drop off a rock or a ledge I no longer get those 3-4 neck whipping aftershocks. Smooth, plush, and minimal rebound. I will never wheel on stock shocks again, ever.
37's are where it's at. There was some rubbing in the front, but it was so minimal I couldn't tell while on the trail and we did a lot of two-point-turn switchbacks today.

I'm not counting wheel spin when you're sitting on your rock rails.
But then again, it's probably hard to tell when you sitting on your la-z-boi. Try again, web-wheeler.

Nah uh... I'm watching ATV racing on ESPN 2 right now.
BTW, can't wait for the in-house tech to arrive Monday. We're going to take care of this wobbly front end.
