They handled the weight perfect, I took my nitrogen setup with me so I could figure out a good pressure setup for some big rocks but after running up the rocky side of the trail 5 hillclimb the pressures I run on the street felt perfect for big rocks so I just kept running the black trails then a friend followed me off of the mountain to go get some burger king for lunch and he couldn't keep up with me in the turns cause his jku with a 4 inch lift and 35s was too unstable with the swaybar disconnected. So far I've probably put 3000 miles on this setup and it feels way more stable with the ORIs and no swaybars than it did with the 5.5 long arm lift with swaybars

I'm happy so far I've done some small jumps, ran it down the highway at allmost 100, done lots of donuts and powerslides in a field and even taken lots of sharp turns at high speed and I'm sold on them they do everything that was said they do

Nothing new to add been working a lot lately I did put in a tom woods rear driveshaft and replaced my mangled trans crossmember and I plan on welding in a shock tower cross bar soon as well as make some step bars off of my rock sliders
