I lowered it almost 2" after putting the 35s on to get the CG lower for big climbs and to try and keep the front from pushing off so much. It hurt and helped at the same time. Way less push off than before but at the expense of ground clearance. Next time I go there I'm going to raise the ride height back up and see where that gets me.

I also need to build a cage for that thing sooner than later. Stock one is fine for flops but I'm not sure it's backflip and roll down a big ass hill rated.
have you replaced your springs? It did not look like it in the pics. The rollcage will hold up better than you think. I still would not want to do a backflip but i can testify to a barrel roll or 4.5 down a hill over a log ... the A pilar will collapse in some but the B pilar held strong

I still run the stock springs, mine haven't sagged yet.
