As others have said, fantastic bull on a tough unit. Congratulations big time!

Enjoyed your video. I'm sure you've both watched it 1000 times! Congratulations.

Nice!

Much Congratulations!

Again, great job guys! I know Jimmy puts in a TON of time while scouting. Plus, you never cease to amaze me with your video camera Phil! Congratulations big time.

Best of luck!

Coach, you've seen my truck...just an FYI, I've got a 3' suspension lift on it. Icon adjustable coil-overs (standard travel) in the front with OME rear shocks and leaf springs. I didn't install different (long travel) control arms in the front and this set up suits me fine. My truck is heavy with the plate bumpers, winch, skid plates, rock sliders, shell, etc....so I had to take all this into consideration when choosing my set up. I also went with a larger diameter tire to gain clearance, so I changed out the gear ratio on my differentials to 4.56 That put me closer to stock acceleration and so forth. Pulls the hills just fine. I chose to go with KM2 mud terrains. Not the most street friendly but they do phenomenal off-road. Many instances never needing to put into 4wd or activate the locker. I like these tires and had them on my previous truck also.

Coach, It's important to note what you will be doing with your truck. Depending on you wanting to be blazing through the desert at high speeds or carrying a heavy load or towing, dictates what will be best for you. Also keep in mind, what works for someone specifically, may not be the best for you. Depending on you having an access cab, single, or double cab etc. Don't just go with a specific brand either. You have to choose the right set up from that specific brand in order to suit your needs. Choosing the correct spring rate on coils and leaf springs etc. is very important so that you are happy with your ride quality. I understand you simply want more clearance, there are cheap ways to accomplish this. You will sacrifice comfort amongst other things though. The brands most have posted on here are quality products. You may even look at using something different for the front than the rear. The weight of your truck is important as is the ratio of weight front and rear. Your off-road shop should be asking you all these questions. Hope this helps!

Duwane Adams has been busy this season with a lot of activity this August. Plenty of nice bucks in the area and some close calls and near misses! Their blind locations have been hotter than usual and they are pretty excited at the possibilities. All the while having fun chasing these coues with stick and string. Here are two bucks that have gone down so far. Congrats to the hunters!

Congratulations. Looks like nice country. Always nice too when you have help with the pack out!

Congrats! Like the smile in the first pic!

Gentlemen, I just spent more time than I would like, editing numerous posts on this thread. Taking out swearing and direct name calling. From both sides of the issue. I read the entire thread and can see that most of you are good at discussing the topic without getting out of hand. Thank You in advance for keeping this thread clean from here on out.
