if I was man enough to step up to a big boy tire size I would 100% be on Krawlers..

is simple green better than that snot crap?


Its crazy slick on tire rubber.   I picked up a new bottle today to do the last three tires.   The new bottle has a "foam" setting.
They went on easy!   My old bottle must have been thinned out. 

As a bonus it cleans your tires and rims...

Seems reasonable given relative mounting positions.

I  run 5" of up stroke and 11" of droop on the front.

Rear is 8" up and down.

The numbers are based on a low CG and low Anti squat 4 link numbers I wanted.

(I would have to dig up my math)

Mine is set up the same way, but then I got wondering how much the bumps would really effect the spring weight.  Right now with no air in the air shocks the air bumps only compress an 1" with full weight on them.
