Just curious.
We played around on the weekend seeing what angles and articulation our stocker JK liked. ;D

We played up.

While driving home we chatted about lifts and disconnects, having said that we wouldn't have had the wild experience we did and even thought about NOT Just Emptying Every Pocket. What do others think?

The rollercoaster of steep inclines and wheels in the air is definitely fun :D

Over the weekend I did appreciated having a disconnect to smooth out the rough stuff. Rebecca and I did a 4wd training course on Sunday (we passed! :D ) and the some of the tracks they took us over were pretty rough. We were bouncing around quite a bit but once we disconnected the sway bar the difference was like night and day. The ride was so much smoother.

Airing down also makes a big difference to the comfort of the ride, a lot of times I will air down just because I know the track is rough not necessarily because I need the extra traction provided.

Cheers
