FWIW, they are 1.5" in their intended application, which is a Dodge PU front IFS I believe. But for our use they are indeed 1" effective lift.

But is the problem really the trails themselves? A few folks told me the trails were worse last year than in previous years, even on the "bunny slopes." And it sounds like things were even worse this year. Are we seeing the end of the era of stock VX participation at Moab?
There are still plenty of easier trails out there, so there isn't any need to exclude stockers. Might take a concious effort to include a easier trail run each day, but given the informal nature of the organization of trail runs, those interested in easier trails do need to be proactive about it.

Heck, on Sunday a bunch of use went on Thompson Canyon, an easy trail none of us had been on before. No technical driving, but we had a good time.
