you'll probably get scratched, they're FUN trails tho

Take some straps and an air tank, the whole offroad kit...better safe than sorry, especially when wheeling

There are alot of tight trails with some big rocks and trees that make it a tough go for a fullsize truck on some of those trails......you should be willing to accept the potential for body damage.....if not, you could be very disappointed....

never been to rausch but at paragon you WILL and i repeat WILL have body damage on a quad cab truck...they are too long and wide to fit down any trails. in the open play area and some of the roads you'd be fine, but the actual trails will modify your body line sand paint job.

just a word of warning...

PS-last time i was there on the ATV a guy had a QCLB CTD that he was wheeling, it looked so nice. when he came out both of his side steps were broke off and in the bed, the bottom of the rocker panels and bed were pushed up in, the bed was dented, and it was scratched all over.

some trails may be wide enough...but if you go down one thats not...you cant back up the whole way and alot of them are one way...no turning around.

i'd hate to see you too much damage thats all.

for what its worth...id NEVER take my qclb in there, i my bed is all beat to heck with dents from 4x4 accident on a tight trail...and i cant stand to add another dent or scratch to it.

I'd listen to these guys........don't take your truck in there, it will not come out looking very pretty!! Those trails are pretty tight and rocky, and full size rigs are just not meant to go through there and make it out without some carnage!!

yea rausch from what i hear has more rocks than paragon.

and yes there are mud pits at paragon, take the main road to the play area and you will have all the mud you can handle, and its all open. and riight in the vicinity is some wider more open trails and hill climbs if you wanna play.

leave it home, 4x4 is better, there is alot of jumps or anything. and very few open spots to open up a fast quad.

i love my 660 grizzly on 27's tho

Keep your Dodge home if you want it to stay nice! I wheel both Paragon and Rousch, both places are made by Jeepers for Jeepers. Like the other guys posted Paragon does have a wide open play area with a big mud pit for the tough trucks, and a bunch of steep hill climbs. Both places have a speed limit of less than 10 mph. Not much fun on a quad. I wouldn't even think about taking my Dodge past the staging area.
