Yes, you did.
And i hear ya on the center of gravity thing, and dealing with that is what makes a lifted truck useful, or just compensating. A guy down the street from me had a nice '85 blazer with an 18-24-inch lift kit, and was asking a decent price. It was ready for real off-roading, not falling on it's side, fortunately, but it sold before I could get the cash together. Instead of the white GMC, i bought a white Gibson.
This is normal summer activity up here, and lifts are useful:

Mine is the white one. The red one is my sons and
the one that rolled at the end of the run is a buddies of mine.
The only mod I wasn't able to do myself was putting in the 4:56 gears.
One thing about vids , they never give you the true feel of how steep these
Canyon's really are. This wash is very steep and you can tell by the people slipping
and falling all over. Me the most !
