Got to wheel a mild trail with some speed and a decent load of coolers, firewood and camp chairs this weekend. The new springs didn't sag out at all and cornered great even with the load. We headed up with my buddy's stockish '85 4runner and a super duty ford. 

The trail is mainly just 4-8" rocky bumps with a few ruts mixed in with 5 or 6 creek crossings and a climb to a point where you can see most of the adjacent county ahd watch the sun go dowm while cooking dinner.  It took about 1 1/2 hours to get up there keeping pace with the super duty and the stockish '85.  They took a different route on the way out and I took the same way home but I got to go at my own pace this time. 

We made it home in 32 minutes in comfort so I am very happy with the new spring set up for fire roading action and overall handling...
