That was about all the flex he was getting. You can't tell in the photo but the
right rear wheel was just starting to come off the ground at that point. He
should be to get a bit more out of the front end once he swaps out the shocks.
The shocks are too long and his right front was at maximum compression in those
photos.

It's there. Click on the photo to blow it up full size and you can make it
out. It's on top of a pole and looks like it's at the upper left corner of the
second pond. You can just make it out.

It could very well break. The photo is a little deceiving also because the
ledge is almost even with the top on Mike’s hood. I couldn't even get my
fronts onto it this time even though I only gave it two quick, half hearted
attempts. Now with the SAS and 35’s, Mike's hood is quite a bit higher than a
stock Dakota. In fact, we were talking about how Mike’s truck was just as tall
as Tom’s Ram Off-Road with the coil spacers.
 I think, at the current rate of change, the upper falls may be more of a
challenge than the lower falls by the next BBQ. There was a line I was looking
at that may have possibility. It was closer to the Airstrip side of the falls
than we were trying during the BBQ (right on the edge of the woods) and was
similar in shape to the v-notch of the lower falls but with more of a defined
edge at the top. It would require a vehicle with a short wheel base and a
decent amount of ground clearance. Something like Adam’s Jeep, Mike’s Ram
Charger or my Dakota would have the best shot at it but it would be real tough.
 I’m gonna have to take another good look during the next BBQ.
