[QUOTE="Madcowranch, post: 424875, member: 185"] I did drive it pretty hard last year and even dented the front bumper in addition to crushing the skid plate. With the upgrade this year to 3.0's, my speed through the course took a huge jump. I attribute that to several factors. First, the truck is able to hook up better in rough terrain. So, as I'm accelerating after a turn or big bump, the rear end stays planted to the dirt which gives a more effective transfer of power from the truck to the ground. Second, the Fox 3.0's just soak up everything so much better at speed which leads to better control and increased confidence. With the stock shocks last year I'd be sawing at the wheel to keep straight while bouncing over boulders. I wish I had a video showing the difference inside the cabin between the 2 setups. Night and day. Much less course correction needed with the new shocks. Third, landing big jumps is sooooo much nicer. So, to answer your question; would I have jumped the road last year? Probably. Cuz I'm a crazy motherf*cker!:rocking: [/QUOTE]
