I've been out to the cove campgrounds in Gore, Virgina... about 15 mins west of Winchester. The trails are all level 2-3 at most and unlabeled. Camping there is decent, nice lake...

I've been looking for some better/longer OHV trails but most of them have either gone private or been closed because people have torn it up, some hippy was 'saving the planet', or both.

If you find any really good ones... lemme know. Wife and I looking for an adventure and buddy-system is always a good idea on the trails.

Depends which trail you go down... I was there in winter after a light snow and they ranged from a road with some ruts, to thin trails really meant for jeeps. I high centered my first time out there with the stock suspension height. Haven't been back since I put the level kit on, mostly for time reason.

Here is a video... doesn't look like much of anything but it was probably a 15* climb... couple pictures too:

mine was stock and I would've been totally fine if it wasn't for being a little careless and listening to my wife's "sure, you'll be fine"....

6" lift you won't have any issues other than scraping the roof on low-hanging branches...

I'd talk to the guys at Production Offroad in Virginia Beach. They go wheeling all the time.

The owner has a Raptor on 37" that he wheels pretty hard.
