I hope so. It's at the alignment shop right now with my husband so I should be able to enjoy it with the weather.

Get used to it a bit before you get all crazy with it, changing the ride height might change it's mannerisms a bit

I know. I did the same thing with my Jeep when I had it. I would take it out in the snow to a parking lot not to just have fun but to actually learn how to drive the thing and how it handles in the weather.

It was fun learning the differences of handling when I added the 4" lift kit and larger tires to my 4 banger jeep. It didn't seem to like that change too much.

LOL, I put a 6" lift on my F 350, then the next weekend, put the slide in camper on, and headed for Tennessee. Turn'd out to be an "interesting" trip

I always like to give lifted vehicles a wide berth. You just never know if the knuclehead behind the wheel knows what their vehicle is going to do now that it's lifted.

Of course, I use that theory for all vehicles. People just don't have any idea what their vehicles are capable of or what their limits are.

That's why I take mine out to find out exactly what its limits are.

Howdy Tim... nope, still waiting for the epic snow storm. It's been delayed until 3pm now. I figure we'll get about 2 inches of snow since they've hyped it up so much.

We hit 50 last Sunday... then only made it 15 for a high by Tuesday.

We are so far behind on rain/snow, any little bit will be appreciated.
