Hey, I'm looking to do this trip next month and was wondering if a stock Fx4 ranger would make it no problem
I went up last July stock, and it was fine. Didn't air down much back then. Drop air on the stock tires, take your time on the early Rocky sections and you'll be fine. The tail can toss you around so be mindful of that.

With that said, the trail makes suspension upgrades feel like it will be very worthwhile.

This is super helpful thank you. I actually have the eibach pro truck kit but am still on stock Hankooks. You have boosted my confidence!

This place looks amazing! It's definitely on my list of places to take my truck. When is the next meet up?

You'll be fine with the eibach

Oh, you'll be good on the suspension front then, maybe need the locker on a hill on the way out but you should be good

Aw come on Jer that is called Blue Lightening for a reason. It can surely cover that distance from Roseville to Manache meadows in 10 days. ;-) All kidding aside - next time.
You’re in Roseville?
