Haha. thats kinda what id like to see. if i could hop out mid trail and visualize it, id probably feel better. I removed the rear sway bar when i did the lift, and i disconnect the front one when we go. My wife tends to panic, and sometimes i think well maybe there is a logical reason this time...lol.

Yeah Raystown isnt too far. probably like 30-45 mins from here. Im about 2 1/2 hrs from harrisburg. Soon as i get a full size spare, and make sure all the bugs are worked out for sure then im going to get membership to Rausch.

I have tow straps + chains and I'm going to invest in a high lift jack. I think a winch is recommended as well but as long as you have a friend to pull you out you don't need a winch

i installed a lift on my scissor jack does that count...lol. I welded it to a 8" 1/4 wall steel pipe.

A buddy made us a chain, but i dont care for using chains. I do have to get some straps. plus mount some recovery points to the rear bumper.

i like the strap better too but i got the chains for free and they add length if someone can't get close

there is one that is kind of long that I normally go on. its in Enola its called tower road. I've been on some trails up in tower city and indian town gap but they aren't that challenging I'm looking for somewhere that will show me how much my truck can handle like rausch creek
