Hood River Edition - Clarification Needed

I ended up putting the risers back because I needed the additional ground clearance for the type of places I go to camp.  I did feel like it was more stable while towing but I was beating up the bottom and afraid I was going to maybe even burst one of my tanks!  I bent my stabilizers and had to replace them also.

So unless you're using totally flat terrain, I'd leave my risers on if you have them.
