a set of trac bars and suspension blocks do wonders on the track. with the power ur at right now, i would lock out 3. put it in 2nd and 4wd lo and go to town. be alot of fun, and u will want to upgrade even more where do u plan on pulling, and any time soon. thayer mo has a pull this saturday night.
