i'm thinking just like that Brad. $800 less, 1 inch less, and a 40k warranty with a heavier load range... hard to pass up. it's still an inch taller than what I'm on now... i'd love to have another m/t but i just don't need it at this point. true, i'm in the mud a little but 1) not enough to matter a lot; 2) the mud I'm in is not too extreme actuall and 3) i have a winch should i really get screwed.... i'm off road a lot still but it usually involves dirt, rocks, sand dunes and stuff like that... which will be fine.
