Getting Ready For Rocks

Don't know how effective slime is for rock-induced tire damage; pinched sidewalls between rocks and rims--I'd suggest a good tubeless tire repair kit, and source of air--12-volt compressor/fix-a-flat/C02 cartridges.
I'd air up the tires to factory-recommended pressures (4-5 psi); lower, you're putting the tires at risk; higher, you'll be beat to death. I think softest spring pre-load is the way to go; others think hardest is best--experiment, and choose for yourself.
If you want rocks, we've plenty to spare at Tasker's Gap Off-Road Vehicle Area, George Washington National Forest.

Kodiak2000,
Some of our trails are boney and I found the recommended 3.6 PSI seems to work well for me and my 2000 Kodiak. I found that whenever I inflate over 4 PSI, I really feel the rocks and the lower pressure climbs the rocky uphills better since the Kodiak front end seems faily light. Also need the plug kits and a 12 V compressor ($10 bucks @ Walmart)
