I'm putting together an order for a 2022 Bighorn 4x4, CC, 5.7L V8 with trailer-tow package. I expect to be driving sometimes on logging roads but never any stump-jumping boulder driving. I've had skids plates on my 2004 Dakota 4x4 so rocks don't fly up and damage the undercarriage when on dirt/logging roads, and that's what I'd like on this new rig.
That being said, and since I don't plan spending most of my time off pavement, is the Off-road package too much? I can get the skid plates with the Protection-Group, and include the anti-spin rear axle instead of the electronic-locking axle that comes with the Off-road stuff. I'm wondering if the beefed-up shocks that come with the Off-road package are going to add too much stiffness to normal highway and around-town driving. Thoughts?
