PM sent your way....

Walt, Well the Moab trip wasn't all I had hoped as it rained all weekend, which seriously limited my trail selections when running a stock lift and solo. The weight of the gear/rack/RTT is a bit much for a stock rig as the shocks do bottom out on the trail and you hit the receiver hitch quite a...
