I have mudrunner run flats that are obviously stiff and don't give much when hitting rocks, etc. I realize that adjustable front struts would go a lot farther towards dialing it in than the rear, yet still haven't got a clue what I'd do if I had them, which I won't. Would be nice to tackle the Hatfield/McCoy with a more low-centered ride like the King Quad,etc. but would at least like to know that I did the one item you can adjust correctly. Will probably carry fuel pack,winch and tube bumper up front with minimal soft pack and bumper on rear. We don't have switchback/drop-offs here in Michigan and am honestly wondering what angle (with what terrain) can I reasonably tackle with these stiffer tires and my overweight a$$ leaning forward and back? If you could throw your machine around a little you'd be fine; never been able to do that much with the Sportsman. Thank you in advance for your thoughts.

John
