Very true. I was thinking abvout it and when I had a 4x4 jeep I hardly ever used the 4x4. I maybe used it 2 times a year. And that's when I went to play around in field and stuff. Even in the snow up here I didn't use it. That's why I'm thinking I could just stick with my 2 wheeler lol

So lastnight I scored a complete 4.5 inch lift for 350$!! Came with ajustable upper and lower arms 4.5in coils, 1.5in shackles, 3in full packs, and brand new never opened skyjacker shocks. I already have an adjustable track bar and 32s so I'm set! Just need to figure out how to work these arms I think they need grease. Are they supposed to wiggle a little where the two parts screw into one another? Do I need adjustable upper arms if I have a 2wd jeep? If not imma sell em. Lol

Pics up later of the lift. Install should be this week.

Have to lower the cross member today because of vibs. Still waiting on new swaybar links. I'm hoping the shop will align it without them.

So woke up to the swaybarlinks at my door. Installed them took about 10 mins. Drove it and found that my homemade bpes in the rear broke so now my rear shocks are just hanging
