Redbird SRA
I will be headed to Redbird in a couple of weeks to hopefully tackle at least trails 3,4,14, and 25, these are the Badge of Honor Trails. I've never been there so I'm not sure what to expect. Is it possible to do all 4 in one day? Is there anything I should know before going? Do I need any special stickers, flags, permits, etc.? I drive a JKURX 3" lift with 35s.

Yes, you can run all 4 in one day. Three of the trails are relatively easy, while trail 4 is one of the toughest out there...it's also one of my favorite.
Trail 4 has a lot of ascents and descents that result in steep break over angles. JKUs can get high centered on this trail easily. I have 3.5" on 35's on a JK, and I bottom out over many of the peaks.
Redbird is an awesome place. You'll have a great time.

Thanks for the info. I thought I have heard that there are some tight spots along some of the trails with trees on both sides causing things to get interesting especially if it's wet and muddy. Are some trails more known for this than others?

Much of the trails are tight. That's part of the fun, in my opinion.
The trails are well marked with; easy, more difficult, most difficult, and extreme. Anything easy and more difficult will be relatively tame, though you'll find some tight spots on the more difficult trails. Trails 4 and 27 both have extreme ratings, for at least a portion of the trail. Trail 27 is extremely challenging, and I wouldn't recommend it unless you are feeling very brave.

I am planning to do this with a West Michigan Jeep Club. Right now I don't know how many Jeeps are going. If it falls through and no one ends up going I will not go alone, wheeling alone isn't my thing.

As stated above, lots of tight spots and many steep inclines. My Jeep is stock for the most part, just have a teraflex leveling kit and I was able to do the 4 trails. My badges just showed up a couple days ago
