I prefer the solid front axle personally but I'm sure it still holds its own pretty well on the trails?

Im pretty well set in the XJ now, regardless if it continues DD duty or not. Im essentially being sponsored by a new upcoming vendor...so I have an obligation to run their stuff, which I am more than happy to.

Fox 2.0 resis should be here today, much excite.

Got to get on the RTI and check clearances today. Everything is perfect.

Need longer rear shocks though..but that will come when I can run them through the rear floor

The CavFab 3 link works incredibly well.

Rear setup works well too. The HD Offroad Shackle Relocaters are excellent

Since I'll be prototyping everything for CavFab I'm in it for the long haul.

Steering in the next few weeks, then bumpers, then axles.
