C1 certainly helped! Went out to the hill country and the Z6EX did great! Was able to take on all the rocky trails that the Jeeps and RZR's did no problem even being stock height and stock wheel size! Used the skid plate a couple times but other than that being stock worked just fine. Definitely going to pull the a-arms and fix the squeeks and get some better shocks on it, but other than that Im very happy with my $1k Z6!!
