Had the k5 out for its best off roading yet

First time I really hit wooded trails and did some terrain navigation. Coudl be a lot mroe fun but it was dark. Hit a nice mud hole a few times. I figured out that what I need to do as of right now, lights, lift, traction bars, bigger(better) tires, and way better gearing. I knew all this before but it just really set it in my mind. Now I'm deciding whether the k5 will stick around... damn descision

Forget the traction bars. You only lose ground clearance. Stiffer lift springs will cut the hop dramatically, as will good shocks.

my springs are stiff as boards. Was ripping donuts and climbing out of a mud hole(chose wrong gearing and had plenty of trouble with that one), and the shifter was violently shaking so I took it as my rear axle was hopping since it sort of felt like that too.
