Holy Cross is the Black Bear Pass of rock crawling
I remember it being a good time. The river crossing is cool

Holy Cross is a great trail, as is Black Bear. But the difficulty is overstated.
Oh yeah, it's not that hard, but it's fun. I find most trails have their difficulty overstated... People must not be good drivers on average.
Trough would be a fight on 33s. It needs two lockers and a raised belly even with 35s.
If you ever get parts and need help installing, drag that shit up here.
Thanks Mike. I am thinking I'll be doing a locker, 4" lift, and out boarded shocks this winter
I'm learning what a hilfiker wall is.
I never knew what those wire baskets full of rocks were called.
Haha unlikely to be in the budget this year. I want to finish my garage more than a midarm. Imagine not laying in gravel to work on your jeep!
I don't think it really matters all that much. The 90° goal is a good baseline but the towers pretty much fit wherever they fit. In the end.
Yeah I thought I had read that, and we talked about it. I mostly want the 4" lift so I can slap on 35s when my 33s wear out but this way I don't have to buy shocks twice!
You can skip leg day until then
Maaybe I can sell my tires but it'd be such a big loss and I go through tires so quick it probably won't be all that long. I'm on my 3rd set in 30k miles already
The biggest issue is having to adjust pinion angle which will rotate the axle side shock mounts allowing them to possibly bind (but probably not. I knew a welder anyway).
Assuming you're set up well on short arms already, the pinion angle shouldn't change much if at all, though - right? And the arc of axle movement is shallower. I suppose unless the arm separation is enough to roll the axle a lot more.
It doesn't matter at all. The only difference is a slight variance in the shock and tower angle that almost no one will see.
