I ordered up a IRO track bar today and some of there adjustable lca's and upper controls arms both adjustable... Did ya ever order your track bar if so how is it? And on a scale of 1-10 how hard was it for you and your uncle to do the bushwacker flats? I wanna run bigger tires but the install scares me since my rig is clean... I wonder if a good body shop could do it easily or if they'd rape on cost

The install is super easy. if there anything like the regular ones(which im pretty sure they are) you dont remove a whole lot of metal. It is a bit weird cutting into a clean jeep, but after the first minute you get over it. I used a dremel and about 20 cut off wheels when I trimmed mine. Yeah it look longer than a grinder but came out really clean, although now the jeeps been ran into some trees, slammed into some rocks and its not nearly as clean as when i first got it

You still have the sway bar connected? I recommend getting some JKS discos if you haven't already. Also, getting that new track bar should definitely help the flex.
Ahaha, what sway bar?
