    I'd love to, but I don't see another good option right now. I am swapping the spare (new still) and the extra I have in the garage on. So I'll have new on the front at least. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

    Not a good compromise in on/off road for 99% of ppl IMO That with the speed ratings, they just aren't great. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

    OK been driving this beast and thinking all day. A few things come to mind. One, use the bags I have, cut brackets lower to run the bag taller. Less bottoming, and puts it in a flatter area of the load curve. But higher bag pressure. 2020-09-18_05-27-52 by Gabe Engler, on Flickr Two, back to...

    And back to the bags, the easy button is taller bags of the same diameter. I could get ~1" more uptravel. Cut the bottom bracket down 2", use taller bag, add external bumpstop.

    I need more height than the Ford springs offer. I could run a spacer, but it seems a taller spring would be better Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk
