This thing is sick. Just how I want to get my suspension set up. Fullwidths and coils at all 4 corners. Thanks for the inspiration man.

Thanks man. It's come a long way! You won't be disappointed with a setup like this one.

I've got frame stiffeners and then I've plated areas around the steering box, trac bar, and rear. Probably 75% of it is stiffened

I did mine back when it was all stock too. It makes a difference in the feel of the jeep, I thought. It justfelt more solid.

That wasn't even a concern to me. You might add 50 pounds with regular stiffeners. That's the difference between throwin a tool box in the back or somethin. And without em, you'll break apart fast with hard wheeling.

That's the thing I have been beating the crap out of my jeep crawling pretty hard lately, I was thinking of getting these, what do you think of them? And what you use?
