Looks like a nice little spot in London. Wish they had something or anything like that around here.

other than the (crapy) plastic front bumpers on these 2nd gen's, they'd manage fine. i could go through the 3 feet of snow that i used to get around my old place, with my '92 Jimmy no problem.

Thats not that far away for you. Drive on over sometime. I used to drive 5 hours with my Jeep to rock crawl... till they closed the area down.

i measured the stock shackle which is 4" between the center of the bolts and u lift your truck half of the distance you increase between the bolts. so for me i wanted a 2" lift so i made my new shackle 8" between the bolts i added 4" but am only lifting the truck 2"
