Default Getting TG Ready for a Putt Out West

Going out West to AZ, UT, NM and CO mid to last of Aug. I hooked up trailer and found it a tad low in front and remembered I had removed lift a while back. Like Da ja voo, putting the lift brackets on again. As I have coil overs I remember wanting to try stock brackets again. To me the ride always felt the same but the handling is so much better with the lifts on the older TGs plus the ground clearance. I sold my Handy lift table a while back and doing this off the floor sucks.

Hey, I've got a set of those red brackets!
Could not seem to get them to fit with my new PA 14" shocks so I had to go back to stock.

Getting down on the concrete sucks. I usually put a old quilt or comforter under me. Just getting down is difficult these days.
You going to see Devil's Tower in your trip? I always wanted to see it, doubt I ever will.
Good Luck on your trip. Send us pictures as you go if you can.

No Devils Tower, Moab, UT as far north as we are going.

Those particular shocks weren't designed to be used with a lift kit.
