Noob PW question.

[Hammerjack]

I am looking at a used PW for sandy trail off roading. One candidate is one which has a 6 inch lift already installed. I have been out of off roading for almost ten years, so I have probably forgotten more than I remember. The vehicle has large block to create the lift in the rear. Do you think this will be an issue when off roading? Thanks.

I would Not use that for any serious "off roading", That is a mall crawler lift. And what the heck happened to the exhaust?

That was my first thought about the large blocks, but I had to ask. This is one pic sent to me (the truck is many miles from me). I also missed the exhaust !!!!

Looks like it rusted off.
If you are going to do semi serious off road, forgo the blocks if you want lift and get the proper spring set up for both lift and travel

Yes but this is the 4.5 PW section.
