So I'm getting new bars from a friend and would just like to know your opinions on switching from 8.5/29 to 9.25/29.5 what are the benefits and the downside

They're 3/4" taller. If you're short, you may hate it. If you're tall, you will probably like it. The .5" width increase will be slightly noticable, unless you ride between narrow things. Then you may notice more quickly.

I remember buying lumberjacks in 08, slapping them on a shadow attack front load and thinking my front end was gigantic
I'm on the vital legit list!

god yes i miss those bars. i went up from Odyssey skim milks (like 7" total rise i think) to the first gen lumberjacks and thought i was soooo pro. i was so impressionable at 16. now my friends have perfect 10's laugh at my 8.75" bars for being "tiny"
I still have a pair of fly pantera v bars in 7.75 in my closet , kind of want to paint them Chrome and throw them on and start doing candy bars again
I still have these Sunday Colors in a drawer in my room
7.25" x 23.45"
