So you clear speed bumps huh????

Would like to see some pictures of guys who can clear speed bumps without the whole caddy corner action. I want to get as low as I can static but still clear the bumps. I have to be able to go through a gate with a speed bump between the rails. Bummer..

Thanks guys,

Dave

davecarney2 , How high is the offending speed bump ?

You'll need to be 1/2" higher after the springs settle.
