No bags, it's a fixed height. I should be able to do speed bumps if they're
not too tall. These "Colorado fire roads" make me a bit worried though.
What's the story on those?

I dunno about that. It seems like a lot of work for a diminishing return,
not to mention the hassle if/when something under the truck needs attention
on the side of the road. Plus, holding all that drivetrain/exhaust heat
can't be good.
