Thanks Jay - In the front I'm running OME 881 coils paired with OME 90004 shocks. In the rear, 890 coils with 60027 shocks. No complaints, though I've read reports that the 5100's are a bit softer. If I could go back I would probably go with the Blisteins instead, though the OME shocks aren't terrible. Also, the 5100's have adjustable perch height so you can get some additional lift out of it if you want. We'll have to meet up and do a OME vs. Blistein shock comparison once you get your gear! Look forward to seeing your rig.
You've got some nice shots on your site! If you ever need a tour guide around the Cowichan area let me know - we could use some high quality truck shots for the homepage.
It's quite dense bush for parts of the trail, so expect some pinstriping. I'm not sure exactly where the old gate is, but the tight stuff starts where the fsr ends. Right at the dead end there is a little quad trail that goes through the trees, but then it opens up in 100 yards or so and gets much easier. There is one washout on the road that is a bit tricky as well.
Diff drop is probably a good idea. I don't run one, but I should. I break cv's like they're toothpicks!
