Good to meet you Uncle Dirty out on the trail, that is a very nice Thing you were driving. The Class 11 fox shocks you have on the front of your car do you loose some travel on them since they are made for a bug and the thing sits up 2 in higher? since that rip i have had fox shox envy.

Thank you, it was good to meet you too.
You don't loose any travel with the Fox's. The Thing and Bug front suspension cycles the same, just the spindles make a Thing sit higher.
Go grab yourself a pair of Fox's, and don't forget the adjusters and hook stops. :wink:

Cool. Thanks again Dusty for sharing. Now that you have a lil' extra power, you can go for 15in wheels and tires, or get these (image taken from the wheel/tire sticky) :

and get that extra clearance you need. Nice offroad driving with your 14" though.
