I would be up to go when ever you guys want. Yeah it is almost the same distance as Moab and pretty close as well. I think we should maybe at least wait till some of the snow melts over there... especially if we were going to hit "The Devil's Racetrack" since it sounds on the harder side. It doesn’t necessarily have to be summer though. When ever everybody wants to go count me in. Also I got to ask you opinion again on lift stuff guys. I have been doing more research and talking to more people and I am beginning to see what you mean about RE and RC builtnotbought89'. RE is nice but there just so expensive. A lot of people seem to like RC just as much so now I am leaning that way. Especially since I can get a RC 6.5" long arm kit for less than a 5.5" RE short arm kit. It just makes sense for the price and the quality seems to be almost the same. Everybody is telling me that if I go with 6.5" I should go with long arms and that when you get a lift that high it will actually ride better on road with long arms... do you guys agree? Do you think 6.5" with long arms and 33s is too overboard for a DD or do you think it will be fine? I am just liking the idea a lot at the moment

Here's the trip report from the trip I went on.... http://www.utah4x4club.com/index.php?showtopic=9716
We actually entered the swell near Castledale. Which is only 2 hours from salt lake, about half as far as Moab.

Cliff as for the lift, when I bought mine the guy @ 4wheelparts told me go big or go home! I just bought my 3" RE kit, so he told me I'd be back for bigger... When I first installed it I thought he was crazy, but if I knew they what I know now!!! Lol So ya go with the RC 6.5" long arn if some day its gonna be just ur trail rig w/35"s. It will have a better ride than the drop brackets & MAD FLEX!!!
