It doesn't matter if you rock crawl, drive through, mud, snow or fire roads, bigger tires is where its at. Now lets be real for a moment. You would certainly see a benefit from a small suspension lift and your current tires but, its not going to be as much of a benefit as bigger tires and no suspension lift. So if you want to go spend 180 bucks on a budget boost and that makes you happy do it, but I think you will find that happiness is short lived.
haha i told myself its not worth beating the subject anymore but i gotta say, ive said like 5 times that i agree tires will give the most performance increase, however, i think it would also be beneficial if i was raised up a bit so my bumper was being used as a bumper not a snow plow haha. To be honest, its snowing here north of the motor city, tonight ill probably drink a few, load up a convoy of jeeps with my friends and go get stuck haha, then ill get bored post pics and start the argument on another thread haha. Id rather not use dirtmans write uo here to argue. Its what it has turned into and i didnt mean to jack his thread like that. Post in my other apparently controversial threads ive posted lately lol. Stupid chatter dosent need to be on the thread of dirtmans write up...... -again my attempt to be respectful and not start arguments.
