I think the only difference is her tires are 1" shorter than they were last year, so if she lifts by an inch (Daystar advertises them as 1.5" but rickshaw and I both found them to be closer to 1") her step-in height would only be .5-1" higher. That's $40 compared to who knows how much for a remote air bag system.

That calculation was right until they DID crank my TBs a little to clear the tires, so I ended up about 1/2" higher than my prior set up. I even had them lower the TBs a little, but I'm still a little bit higher in front than before. Which makes it all the more ironic doesn't it!

Interesting Porcupine Rim is listed in the Wells book as Easy, whereas Hells Revenge and Fins-N-Things are listed as Difficult. I thought it was a little harder than "easy".

On Porcupine you go up and back on same trail, so some of these pics were harder going down. I know I slammed down on a few of these, any one could have caused my damage. Look at all those potential hits to the Driver side LCA!

I just took some bad lines, wasn't careful enough on some areas, and have no one else to blame but myself.

A stocker could still easily do this trail.


Oh, and I stopped by the shop 10 mins before closing on a holiday weekend so it was a real quicky. He'll do a full assessment before I do anything.
