Yeah, not right away but eventually I'll get something that is wider and has a taller profile. Not too much difference in ride quality, tires break loose a little easier going around corners.

well i could only imagine watching you hit a turn at 50 again. haha but it looks really nice! and flexes a hell alot more. so you will most likely not bottom out next time.

I hit it in the low 40's and it didn't seem too bad... I'm going to take the turn faster and faster each time (it's on my way home) to find the max. I'll take a vid after I figure out the max and then post it on youtube so it can be compared against the turn before I had the lift. Also I want to paint my cladding before I do anymore videos, but waiting until after Anderson to paint the cladding (hopefully nothing else will need painted after Anderson).

The Expy in the outskirts of Las Vegas... wanted to go play in the sand but nobody else was there to pull me out if I got stuck. From San Diego to Las Vegas took just over 4 hours going nonstop and leaving SD about 2am. The desert pics are on from on the way back. Took about 6 hours to get home because of traffic. Expy made the trip without any problems and took about 3/4 tank to go each way.

The Ex barely fits in the garage after the 3/2 lift... see pics. It actually scrapes by a hair but the garage door flexs out of the way.
