surprisingly for one of the guys that went on "that run" on saturady i ended up coming out pretty good considering i guess its probably cause im full width so it helped save everything some so here it goes
they dont completely stop you from getting damage no but being wider helps keep the body away from trees and puts my tires on the obsticale instead of my fenders or quarter panels
Fixed the tie rod and rebalanced the tires, still got some very scary death wobble....did a visual inspection of the bushings on the CA's and they all look like they need replacing. Oh and I blew out my passenger side caliper also.
