This pic was taken at the trail entrance to Church trail in Hatchers pass Alaska. It doesnt look like much to cross this river but that chevy you see is my friends 1 ton on 42" swampers. After this river the trail goes straight up a mountain where backing down is not even feasable............I was holding my seat pretty well with my butt cheeks that day.....my boys loved it however.

reason number 10 to run STEEL rims.............when I crossed that river on the way out a rock kicked up by the river went between my brake caliper and the inside of my rim......something had to give and it was my aluminum rim. I thought id lost a bead but didnt, I didnt even notice why I went flat untill I took my rim off and a chunk of metal fell out from the INSIDE of my rim.

not sure of you guys know what a Shackle flip is but its this. The spring normally mounts to the TOP the the bracket. You simply cut a hole out from the bottom of the bracket and mount the spring through the bottom. It nets 4" of lift and you retain your factory spring and ride quality. This is a cheap 4" of lift. Its also very strong if you do a few small gussets. i have ran this set up for years with no problems.
