I love em! Im running 13 psi right now and they look just like 25. Ten even looks fine to drive down the road. The only thing ive found is they are horrible on wet grass. They just spin on top but if it digs any its OVER!

I have one under and one wound through the bottom for the time being. They are split so you can wind them inside the spring. Ima make some out of pipe that the spring will sit down in. Great idea i got from a friend.

Just got done adding some kc daylighters to the stock holes that held the fog lights. Used the stock relay and switch but blew a fuse. Now I gotta locate this little booger. Anybody got a clue where it is. Fuse box? inline?

Got the KCs on the stock roof rail. Got four in all now. Looking for 2 more.

Brake caliper stuck on me today and caught some grease on fire.
Complete new front brakes going on Saturday. Anybody suggest in rotors or pads?
