    Anyone have any experience with Baofeng BF-F8HP

    Do you need a license? No. Just get a band plan and stay on fms freqs. Program them with chirp and get a real prolific chip programming cable. Can you listen to ham freqs? Yes you can also talk on them and repeaters in a emergency. Now that being said you should attempt to get a ham license...

    Heading up to big bear California. March 19. Maybe dishpan or others. Going alone but as we all know these trails are never empty. If I break down anyone I'm more than welcome to come laugh at me.

    4.56 or 4.88 gears?

    I have 456 and hate them. I was wheeling 33s on 307 they weren't the best but I could do 70 on flat ground. Now I'm stuck at 60 and the engine is screaming. To add insult to injury I have 6 nearly new 33s I have to wear out before I can go larger. I guess it just depends how far you drive to wheel.

    Do springs unseat when they reach their free length?

    Sure. Spring sits in perch and shocks go in mounts. The suspension has 2 measurements collapsed ( up to bump stops or frame your choice.) And unsprung ( max down it will travel till something mechanical stops it. Control arms bind or driveshaft bottomed out. These won't be practical numbers but...
