ya the leafs do get a little inverted at full stuff but im not worried about it. if you have ever looked at the front leafs on a stock truck they usually ride inverted like that. so i figure if they get inverted every once in a while it shouldnt hurt it. but the leafs are awesome! i have no complaints about them yet. they ride smoother than coils still and they do everything i need them to do. and yes the jeep was running a little hot so i popped the hood to let a little extra air in. im gonna make some hood vents soon so the hood can stay closed lol

the tires are AWESOME! i have gone on a few trips with these and i LOVE them! ask anyone who has them they will all say the same thing. they ride smooth and decently quiet on the road and grip like no other in anything.
