I’ve got plenty of trails to explore in SoCal; I was just asking OP why 38’s are needed because they’re rarely needed so I figured he must be doing something cool and worth sharing.
The main reason I wanted to maximize my clearance was/is to drive on remote logging trails primarily in Maine as my family owns some property up there. These logging roads and skidder trails are some of the gnarljest rutted high centered I’ve ever seen. Think 20+“deep muddy ruts with small boulders in the center & Thick trees butted up on both sides. Very different terrain then I’ve seen out west. High clearance also is much better for deep snow.
I do like the look but like my additional clearance more for logging roads and skidder trails in the north east. Hunting and exploring remote areas is what I enjoy most.
I did the sprigs upgrade only(running the stock Sas Bilstein) Didn’t get quite the advertised lift height-that’s why did the shim spacers up front and perch collars in rear. I did run the stock Sas tires for a few months after the lift. I do like the ride feel with the progressive spring after the 1” BB perch collar install & Rockjock tract bar relocate bracket. Feel is firm but not harsh + very stable. I think I may eventually look for a lighter wheel later.
