Problem is, sometimes a little light offroading will get you into a position where "heavy offroading" may be required to get home/un-stuck , you should never go offroading without the expectation that you may break something, its part of the game/fun!

in order to fab up something like this (which is very possible BTW) it would be just as much work or $ to install a full pack (new or Bastard)

Definition: Unit-body refers to a type of construction where a vehicle's outer body and inner structure combine to create the strength to support the vehicle. (See Honda Ridgeline Example) Most pickup trucks are built using body-on-frame construction, where a separate frame creates the vehicle's strength and a body sits on top of the frame.

Also Known As: unibody, monocoque

all I can say is, good job man, you helped improve some people's vocabulary, but it CAN still be refered to (by Mopar BTW) as a Unibody.

AAL is a single spring sold by aftermarket companies, BP is what we build from JY parts, nough said.

iF YOU HAVE NOTHING IMPORTANT TO ADD THAN DONT.
Hopefully, with enough feedback, you will learn something about forum
courtesy. Kinda hard to read your post and take anything positive out of it (you know, as one of the "younger guys" here.)

Check out the post, about 5 up from the one I got this quote from, you have been NOMINATED, by a CF Moderator no less, hope you know what this means....(hint hint, some one thinks YOU are "immature").

Once again, not the only term that CAN be used.

Good luck with any help in the future with this forum, pretty sure any posts I see from "RICH" will remind me of your attitude and weigh HEAVILY on the reliability of anything you post in the future.

Remember, tone is hard to decipher when reading something on a forum like this. It is a responsibility we all have to ensure this forum is friendly and family oriented.

I initially opened this post because I bought my xj with 2.5" blocks already installed and have read any post related to help prioritize purchasing full packs instead of other parts. To be honest, your input has not helped this decision at all, sounds to me like you spent the night pondering this idea and have no actual evidence to support your idea that blocks are ok to use while wheeling. I actually tow a 5X8 trailer with the dirtbikes and axle wrap is a concern of mine more because of towing than it is offroad.

Blocks can and do crack then fall out, causing damage (LOTS). It is a gamble I take, when I do get full packs I will no longer be concerned with this.

Just to make sure you understand my TONE, I am not angry because of your post, just disapointed that when I opened it, the provided info didn't help. I do think its kind of funny that you wrote in the title "No false answer allowed" hmmmm, maybe it will work, made me laugh though, thanks for that!
