Yes if your Jeep is Stock it will be fine also. Just air down your tires and have fun. Might want to consider removing your rear sway bar so you can feel it rock a lil.

I'm planning on being there about 9am. I can be a little flexible if needed.

I've never been, but there should be trails there from mild to wild.

How hard is to remover the rear swar bar. I'm also running a stock jeep so thats a good thing to kow that I will be ok. And it might be a stupid question but why would I take the air our of my tires?

Less air in tire = more traction offroad. The rear sway bar is quite easy to remove. Just remove two bolts per side and take it off. That is, if the damn bolts come out easy. If they give you trouble, use some Liquid Wrench (performed better that PB Blaster in bench tests) on them for about a week, then use some heat (a torch) for a minute or two before removing the bolts. It should be fairly easy then.

Looks like I'm going to be there between 9:30 and 10am

Actually it would be 8 bolts to remove the rear sway bar. if you break them oh well you wont ever have to put it back on. You can pick up 2 new U-bolts for it pretty cheap also. Just take a look it it is pretty simple. X2 on what Dude said for tires take them down to i rekon 15psi and role with it. You can always air them back up at a gas station on the way out unless someone has a compressor on there truck.

Hope to see yall out there.
