With a full load of gear(front and rear bumpers, rock rails, winch, tools, and spare parts) on a 4.5" lift with drop brackets and 32's, they hit about 20 times when I ran the Golden Spike. The first thing I did when I got back was to add more lift and bigger tires. If you are staying with a smaller lift go without the drop brackets, and if you go bigger get long arms(TnT).
