Ok ok....
Had a bit of fun out on the service roads at Balden State park.

The truck had a medium load in the bed. Two spares, recovery gear, tools, spare parts, cooler, weekend luggage. The cab had two people and a dog.

The truck was performing well. We found a little spot we could jump. I didn't hit it too hard. Probably only going 40 or so. There were some other parts of the trail that had some roller type jumps where you feel weightlessness, but you can't really get any air.

The rear bumps did get used. Most of the run I used probably 1/4 of the full stoke. After he jump the second day I used 1/2.
The zip tie is what I used as place marker.

Second photo was for fun.

This is the video of the jump. However, not my truck. This was Orangeaddict and Steve-o

I guess I should add that the rear of the truck feels like it is performing well for my need. I don't get any donkey kicks unless the bed is empty. With the gear in the bed while off-roading I'd say the springs and bumps work seamlessly.

Yeah, the video is fun. I really like the slow motion portion.
Hopefully the video shows similar trails as what you'd be running. See NC Wolf's video in our meet up thread from this weekend. It shows more trail.

Im running without a strike plate for my stock bumps. Jimmy didn't have any when I bought my springs I plan on picking up one of the bump stop kits soon though.

I haven't really been off road yet just down some oil field roads. I haven't had any issues so far.
