I've got no complaints about my departure right now. I rarely drag
the bumper. Once I get the D60 front in and stop breaking front
axles, maybe I'll care. Right now maneuverability (wheelbase,
mainly, and ability to actually turn) is my hinderance. The steering
angle is not great, but everything will be better once I get hydro
assist and can actually turn the wheels.
when I was still stock I was thinking of flipping the hitch upside
down and putting on a roll pan, that would have picked up quite a bit
of departure.
