It was a nervous but at the end very good day. Truck hadn't touched dirt in 6 yrs and the entire front end was new except the engine. No idea if the shock valving was even close. It rode good on the street, that's all I knew. Drove it 2.5 hours to the desert wondering if it would be good or horrible the entire way. Also wondering if something would break and I would have to tow it home. As soon as I hit the first small bumps I could tell it was better. Then after hitting bigger and bigger bumps I realized it was better than I ever thought the short wheelbase rig could be. Drove home happy to say the least. No issues and the even in big bumps, the carb didn't stumble one time! ;D
