Just a bit off topic, can you guys tell me what is the smallest tire that they ran up at Walker Vally and what was the most difficult trail that they took those tires on?

I was going to take my spring perch to work and trace it out on 3/8s and leave a little spot to drill and tap for those adjustable bump stops that everyone sells at napa and what not just haven't got around to it.

I was going to do something like that, but I've for a kid sending my 3.5" bump stops he wasn't using, hopefully they will work, if not I will just sell and buy longer, mine would bolt on with the leaf packs and extend out to hold the bump stop , kinda like this,
