Your ego is truly impressive.

Ego? It's experience... Experience driving this truck to its limit, far beyond what you do.

Sorry, but your opinion comes from cruising trails at 35 mph, not drifting them at 70.

That's why I said this is NOT a mod for people that want to do high speed drifting but rather slow speed off roading or rock crawling.

Ego would be coming in here and telling somebody who expressed his desire to take my advice and quoting him... Telling him to reconsider because YOUR idea is better. That's ego.

I welcome anybody to try both ways, I'm simply sharing my opinion with DETAILED reasoning why, based on my extensive off road seat time in this truck. If that's ego then I guess I'm guilty!

(And what a cop-out reply... seriously)

Indeed. Challenge you even just a little bit and you lose your mind... At least you're predictable.

Hey, its all good. You clearly care about being right here, and I don't so more power to ya. Leave 'em on guys, because Blue says so. Good enough for me!

Your reply wasn't a challenge. Your reply was an attempt at making me look like some egotistical Ass Hole who forces people to do what he says, when I'm simply sharing my knowledge of the truck and people are welcome to do as they please.

There's no "right" or "wrong" as you apparently are trying SO DESPERATELY to make it seem like I'm suggesting... so just drop it already.

And we both know this isn't about be caring about being right... you just HATE being wrong, and these little pissing match posts seem to happen any time I disagree with you... Sorry if I don't just bow down and walk away like everybody else you attempt to belittle does.

:specialed:

What world do you live in? Drop the attitude and go reread the posts in order, without seeing usernames. You're going to see that someone suggest NOT that you're some ******* forcing people to do anything, but that this is easy enough to do and therefore worth trying for onesself. The ego stuff showed up later; justifiably so.

You overstep, again. I am wrong all the time. In fact, I've got being wrong down to a freaking science.

But what does any of that have to do with suggesting someone try this for themselves?

You seem to forget that this IS a debate. Far smarter people than both you and I fall on both sides of this fence. How about we just acknowledge that fact, and leave it there?

Just saying, when the raptor was comprared to the ram runner, the ram runner had a lot of steering correction and diving on streight line vs the raptor. Dont know if it has to do with sway bar off on the ran runner or only because was lifted.
Will the raptor behave the same as shown on the ram runner if you remove the swaybar?
You can see it at min 1:50 you can stop at 3:40 to dont go off topic

Not in my experience, no. However keep in mind I'm on the top perch and that definitely affects things.
