Mud Bogging Or Mud Drags
Mud drags is a popular motor sport which is played in the mud. This sport is very popular in places like the United States and Canada. Here a huge number of people participate every year in this sport. The wildness and its huge energy make this sport really interesting and popular.
The basic requirement for this sport is the famous big and huge cars. In this game if you are willing to participate then you must have a big truck, which can handle the pressure of the mud. Modern light cars are not suited for the muddy surface. So if you have a big gigantic trucks then what are you waiting for? Go and experience the madness!
In this race you will be given a particular length, rather a particular destination. Basically what you have to do is just complete the track as fast as possible. If you can complete the track taking the minimum time then you will be called the winner of the mud drags. So if you are in this game you have to drive madly to be a winner.
In case if all the cars are unable to reach their destination, then the vehicle that covers the maximum destination will be declared the winner. Here in this situation only the distance is calculated, not the time.
If you go back to the history of this sport then you will find a big change in terms of the cars used in this game. The time when this game actually started, only huge pick up trucks were used. These were very heavy in size but as the time passed, the vehicles changed. From pick up trucks to tractors to superchargers, all these changes occurred in just a little span of time. Now only the superchargers are used.
On the basis of the base or the tracks, mud drags can be divided into 3 parts. Firstly the open bog which is the normal one. Second is the hill track which is quite high. The third is the flat track which has got sand as the base.
Spending time at the mud drags is getting a large following with every passing month. It requires a high level of driving skill and quality truck equipment. Any truck that is used at the mud drags , features a powerful engine and an excellent four-wheel-drive system that powers the very large wheels and tires on a lift-kitted truck that tries to dominate a mud-filled trench.
How Does the Rancho Quick Lift Work?
What’s the easiest way to add a lift to your vehicle? I’m sure this is what Rancho asked themselves which eventually lead to the design of the quickLIFT. The quick lift is both a suspension lift and a high-performance shock absorber built into one unit and is the fast way to raise your vehicle.
The quick lift shock was engineered for the specific vehicle it will be installed on. This means they’re not a one-size-fits-all product. quickLIFT shocks provide as much as 2.5-inches of lift in addition to superb driving quality and comfort.
The Rancho quickLIFT works on a simple engineering concept. It preloads the existing coil spring. Preloading the spring pushes the suspension downward (away from the chassis). This results in lift — true suspension lift.
The quickLIFT is the newest member of the myRIDE family of Rancho shocks which means they feature the same 9-position adjustable shock absorbency as the RS9000XL line of shocks and the two work well in tandem. They can be set soft for freeway driving, firm for off-road, or anywhere in between to your liking.
It also means they’re compatible with the Rancho RS999705 myRIDE wireless remote control so you can adjust them without exiting the vehicle, parked or on-the-go.
The Rancho quick LIFT shock offers several advantages.
* The vehicle’s factory coil spring is re-used. This eliminates the need to buy additional (potentially expensive) parts and retains much of the factory drive quality because the ride is still dependent on the factory spring.
* Provides up to 2.5-inches of true suspension lift. This levels the vehicle and allows the fitment of larger tires without the need of a full, differential-drop or axle-drop suspension lift.
* Adjustable shock absorbency with nine levels of firmness.
* Welding or cutting is necessary for installation like other suspension lifts.
* Installation can be done by the “home mechanic” in just a few hours.
If you’re looking to add some height to your vehicle without the expense of a fully engineered suspension lift, then be sure to give Rancho a look.

Body Lift or Suspension Lift: What’s the Difference?
There are essentially two ways to lift your 4WD vehicle and they are suspension lift and body lift. Each method has its pros and cons which most often involve price, performance, and ease of installation. Before going further, let’s first distinguish between the two.
A suspension lift raises the vehicle’s frame (chassis) away from the ground. This is accomplished with taller springs, lift blocks, spring spacers, lowering the differential, turning up the torsion bars, or any combination thereof.
A body lift raises the vehicle by lifting the body away from the frame with spacers. This keeps the frame at its existing distance from the ground.
A suspension lift is recommended for anyone planning to spend a lot of time off-road. A body lift is recommended for anyone that wants to make their vehicle look lifted with no true intentions of going off-road. This doesn’t mean that a body lifted vehicle can’t go off-road. It just won’t perform as well as a suspension lifted vehicle because it hasn’t gained any ground clearance.
Suspension lifts typically range between 2-inches to 6-inches (though there are some companies that produce “extreme” kits in excess of this), while body lifts range between 1-inch to 3-inches.
Suspension lifts are more complicated than body lifts because they alter the suspension components that give the vehicle its factory ride characteristics. Taller springs are typically stiffer than factory springs so the vehicle will have a harsher ride quality than with original equipment factory engineered springs. Longer shock absorbers will be needed. The vehicle will also have a higher center of gravity because the entire weight of the vehicle (everything except the axles) will now be raised further from the ground. Depending on the vehicle, the transfer case may need to be lowered and the rear differential repositioned to minimize driveline vibrations. This is especially true for short wheelbase vehicles such as Jeeps because of their short rear driveline that isn’t readily accepting to increased u-joint angles.
Pros: Higher ground clearance, raised approach and departure angles, allows installation of larger wheels and tires.
Cons: Expensive, installation usually takes longer, driveline angles are increased (more susceptible to vibrations), re-route or lengthen the brake lines, new shocks needed, raised center of gravity.
A body lift is relatively simple in that it primarily consists of a set of spacers that are inserted at the mounting points between the frame and body of the vehicle. This leaves all the heavy parts of the vehicle (frame, engine, transmission, transfer case, etc) at their factory locations so the vehicle’s center of gravity (though increased) will not be increased as much as a suspension lift.
Pros: Inexpensive, can be installed quickly with basic hand tools, allows fitment of taller tires, simpler (all parts necessary come in a small box).
Cons: Appearance (a gap between the body tub and the frame will now be visible), extra leverage is placed on the mounting points (this is especially true for higher lifts), no increase in ground clearance.
Bringing all this information together, a body lift’s sole benefit is to allow the installation of larger tires whereas a suspension lift is designed for improved performance off-road (while also allowing the installation of larger tires). If you’re on a budget and want to make your vehicle look like a big off-road rig with no real intentions of ever going off-road, then a body lift would be adequate for you. Contrary, if budget is not a concern and your true intention is to make your vehicle more off-road capable, then a suspension lift is the only way to go.
Body lift kits are a popular choice for people new to the sport of off-roading. Their ease of installation make them great beginner projects for anyone just starting to get into off-roading and can be used in conjunction with a suspension lift should you decide to move up to something bigger in the future.
