[QUOTE="Raptor 2014, post: 1817465, member: 12350"] Nope - Never really tried to see how far it would jump but I have pre-run many sections of road first with some jumps to find the right offload compromise for my shock adjustments so I know what to set them to when I do travel off road. My rig full of gear is at least 7,000+ Lbs. - Too heavy for my corner scales to get a true weight balance. Not real jumping weight. I did jump it in one spot unintentionally in Bishop California going up Sliver creek road to see the Bristol cone pines. Never been on that road before - wide open dirt as flat as a pancake (Week day) and no vehicles around. I was doing 90+ and saw some willows running perpendicular to the road up ahead so I slowed down to about 40 figured it was a small spring stream. Well it turned out to be about a Shear 4+ foot drop off in to about 2+ feet of water (Thank God No Rocks). Needless to say the Butt Pucker factor was high. I didn't slow down and didn't seize the engine but kept my foot in it because I didn't want to be beat to death buy the vehicles parked to the both sides below because they couldn't cross the stream. The splash must have been around 70+ feet in all directions. Needless to say after I finished my sight seeing of the Bristol Cone Pines and I didn't go back into Bishop but continued North. [/QUOTE]
