Simplicity of design....no more death wobble...ever. Longevity....no bushings to worry with (as much)....spring under for stability with highsteer....able to beat the **** out of it with fewer moving parts....

Just to name a few reasons....

I'd be very interested in seeing you do a leaf sprung front. I like the idea.

I am torn on the idea.

It is a LOT of work...but once done, is a low maintenance solution.

I would put a traction bar front and rear too to get rid of wrap.

I am very undecided. I may wait until I can afford to have the Jeep as a toy, and not a driver.

hmmm, might have to see what the cheaper option would be... the front will be just a normal bumper with a wide hoop with light tabs, with D-ring mounts on it. the rear I want d-ring mounts and a 2" receiver built in as well.

Another ****ING school shooting...this is getting out of hand.

I know all about gun advocacy and the 2nd amendment....but we need limits.

Guns don't kill people....people do....but guns sure make them a lot more effective at doing it!

Think of it this way.....drinking and driving kills people....but we don't ban the cars, or the alcohol...just the combination.

We need to find a way to compromise on this issue.

18 elementary kids confirmed dead. ELEMENTARY...that has got to tug on someone's heart strings....
