Med: haul stuff in the back
Heavy: tow stuff

^^ Yes. They're categories for the spring rate, which is how much force (loaded weight in this case) it will take to flex them. Heavy duty springs are stiffer and more suited to heavy loads like towing or hauling bricks etc

Whereas light duty will likely give a better ride when the Jeep is unloaded, and may potentially offer better articulation off road due to the lighter spring rate.

So I've been looking into disconnecting my front sway bar but I don't wanna take it out permanently because I still need to drive to school and work ect...but after looking into quick disconnects it seems for good ones you need money (something I'm a little short on atm) so has anyone ever done this? http://www.rockcrawler.com/techrepor...etdisconnects/ do you think it would hold up?

Ok. I just checked it yesterday and thoght it was odd it smelled gas-sy.

I'm not having any issues, gets the mileage I've always got. No running or idle problems.

I read that quote and I was just wanting to make sure it wasn't a sign of a catastrophe. Lol


What's blow by? Like gas getting past the piston rings?
