Articulation is highly over rated, if you want a ramp queen then you go for articulation, if you want a rock machine you go for controlled droop

Yeah articulation is important but too much with no control on the droop makes it a liability. a lot of times when you have a ton of articulation you also get real problems with axle wrap and it can be a real bitch even if you use a traction bar because it is easy to break them in the rocks.

That's a typical road here in Michigan....as I used to say the only place to get the off roading experience without leaving the highway.

You know that of which I speak. although the roads up north aren't nearly as bad as down here in SE Michigan.
