Good thing your tires aren't any stickier. You might have gone topside around that last corner.

Sweet air!
What shocks and bumpstops are you going with? Can you post up some links? I've got an 8" Superlift on my Blazer and need to upgrade soon as well...

I have no idea yet. The fronts were/are ProComp ES3000s. As far as bump stops, I dont know yet. But Im doing next years tuff truck and going bigger! So, air bumps are most likely what I need. Shoot, might be linked with coilovers by then. I did take out the bottom spring in the pack, Im sure that is why they are so soft. I already have some 3/8 tabs I got from Kert at Diy4x a while ago. We be putting those on this week. I pressure washed the burb for 3 hrs. yesterday and I have about an hr. or so left to do!
Bypasses and bump stops are a necessity if you do that very often. Makes every day driving better also. You can jump a leaf spring truck all day if it is built right. Just maybe not as strong/dependable as links and coilovers over the long run. Just remember that bypass tuning takes a bunch of time. And running on a short course like that without the shocks getting warm, will require different tuning compared to running the shocks warm. Mine are lot stiffer until they warm up. They work well after about 15 minutes of working them over a rough road.
Just my 2cents. But what do I really know?
