Very nice trip. I would looking into getting heavier springs from DR to compensate for all the weight and not just crank it in.

Springs are fine, I had my suspension dialed in very little. Once I added the extra weight I just needed to dial it up a little more. I still have more room on the coil overs to dial it up even more. DR says a max of three inches from the top of the shock to the dial ring. I have it set at two inches so there is still more room if I need it.

Good to now.
So did Steve let you take the raptor on the off road course?

I spent three months there as a student (CITP + Marshals school) back in the early 80's. Yep, big difference being on the "other side of the fence" (student vs. faculty).
