Default Johnson Valley advice

Looking for info.
I am heading out to Johnson Valley in April with a few friends for the first time. I would like to know how difficult the Hammers are. The toughest trails that I have run are John Bull and Odessa/Doran with 33s and a bb. I now have 35s and a 4 inch lift.
Will I have a problem in my 4 door?
Should I take my CJ7 and trash it instead?
I really want to wheel my 4 door out there.
Thanks,
Steve.

I was out in Johnson Valley for the "King of the Hammers" race (a couple of weeks ago), and from what I witnessed, my advice would be: take the CJ7. John Bull is not near the difficulty of the Hammers.

Here's the underside of the 4WD.com 4-door JK after running the hammers with 3" of lift and 35's.

The Hammers are rated as one of the toughest in the nation. Tis' not for the faint hearted.
