That's great! Do you remember the spring rates that you installed?

 

Not bad at all... I have two 200 lbs pistons to help... I also set the one in front in a position that helps the initial opening while the one in back continues to help it open fully...

 

This might not be the best thread for this question, but I think it will get the most traffic and is topic related. Is anyone here going to Overland Expo East in October? I'll be there Saturday the 4th with my wife and I do not know anyone else that is going.

 

Sorry to take so long to get back to you, I haven't checked this thread in a while.

I can't remember which ones they were. I remember it was the highest set of numbers you could get-he had a hardtop rubi with the tow package. I want to say it was 19/59, but don't quote me on that.

By the way, it's been several weeks since I installed the lift and I have had no problems whatsoever. I feel like I need longer LCAs because the axle isn't perpendicular to the ground anymore, but for now it will be fine. The ride is fantastic, and it looks awesome!

Edit: Keep in mind, my stock springs and shocks had 40,000 miles on them, so they may have sagged some. The rubi suspension had almost no miles on it.

 

A new place for me, this was first visit. And I love it with it's mud.

 

While not exactly overlanding, I did get a couple of camping trips to state parks in. Here are some pictures from our trips.

Itasca State Park 6/13-6/15. Weather on Friday wasn't too bad. There were lots of army worms around, dropping out of the trees. Rained that night. Saturday was overcast all day, my parents came up and visited for a few hours. Rained Saturday night through Sunday so we got the joy of packing up in the rain.

All packed up. We need to do a bit better job and seeing what we need to bring and what we don't. We brought fishing gear both times we went camping and didn't use it either time.





Campsite wasn't too bad. Was quite muddy after it rained though.



As you can see the Mississippi Headwaters were quite high. I've been to Itasca State Park 20+ times and I can't ever remember seeing it this high.






St. Croix State Park 8/8-8/10. Weather was gorgeous here. 75-80+ each day. Clear skies, and the bugs weren't too bad.



Climbed the fire tower and this is the view we were treated to.







Hiked to the old Yellow Banks CCC Camp.







Loved our campsite. The only neighbors that were close enough to hear were behind us.

 

Been there quit nice, glad you had nice weather there. Did you walk across the stones there at the Miss.? That is a lot of stuff to pack, when it is raining and trying to keep dry.

 

We didn't walk across the rocks. The water was way too high and fast. We did however walk across the log. It is a lot of stuff to try and keep dry. Thankfully most of it was under shelter. The only things that really got super wet were the tent and shelter.

 

For the guys that have a drawer system in the rear, what have you done with the cubby hole space that is in the cargo area? The space with the spare jack and such, seems like an awful good amount of space to seal away from access?

 

Crying shame to lose space, but access is ridiculously awkward when you've got other gear piled or mounted atop it. Mine is now empty. It would be better used with a Genright second gas tank.
