Lol yeah it's real. It was verified by ABC news. I've seen plenty of gators around here but usually I have to go to them!

What setting did you use on them? I've got mine at the 2nd from the top and it rides and handles great.

Another day, another 300 miles down the road! Ended up in San Antonio tonight -- got too late in the day to head back to Houston so I just booked a room and will drive back tomorrow morning. Kind of in the mood for Pappadeaux's for dinner, but I'm not sure if I want to drive all the way down to the 410 loop just to get to the nearest one.....

I set mine at the 2nd from the top as well. Perfect stance and handling. I removed the 2" leveling kit, so it has a lot less stress on the control arms and ball joints now. The level stance is basically the same. Slightly lower, about 1/4", which is good because it was a tad high in the front before.

On my rears I actually gained 1/4 inch in height over the OEM shocks. I find with all 4 shock's the ride is firm but not stiff...better control and handling too! Try 42 front and 42 psi rear (cold) if the ride is too stiff.





Not sagging in the rear even with the heavy Polaris 850 lbs in the front. Also had about 100 lbs in the bed.

It is -- best Shrimp Gumbo I have had anywhere.......

They tend to be a little pricey though, so it's definitely a restaurant you want to hit while your on the company's dime.....

We use to go eat at Mi Tierra Mexican restaurant when we visited San Antonio...I guess it's still open in the downtown area.
