No cutting of the spring perch. It's stock. And the front mount is all factory as well. Only had to massage the rear a little to get the slider to line up, that's all.

No binding, smooth transition during spring movement and limits rotation and horizontal movement.

Basically more consistent and predictable.

Hopefully it really helps with my suspension. I'm working on a little more weight reduction and some other little things before my opener of the season. I'm throwing together a quick little rear bumper setup, along with some other little things I have in the works for some finishing touches before I bring it out.

first off it's an OEM jeep designed spoiler. So I think that keeps it from being ricer. I'm also hoping that it helps keep my rear window clean. And any stability when you're into the triple digits is a good thing. But despite all of that I'd still put it on because I think it helps with the look.


Yes they are liquid iron sliders

there's not too many jeep driveshafts that are this lightweight. New carbon shaft is like magic.

The difference between a ricer and #becauseracejeep is that the spoiler on the jeep is functional!

Also getting the front tubular arms put on. Not a big change weight wise, but they are way stiffer and stronger it will def help the handling, but with new bushings the launch should be better as well.
excuse the grease and antiseize they really are brand new.

Super happy with the rear spoiler. Not sure how effective it will be aerodynamically but it looks better, the brake light is brighter and should help with the fact that I don't have a rear wiper.

I honestly like the spoiler. Not sure why dude said ricer territory lol. Obviously a noob. You probably know my buddy from the track and down in Fairmont... He's got the svt Cobra that's cranking over 850 hp right now. Names Tom. He is just getting it ready for this year as well, having belt slipping issues. Still has another pulley to go and then he's going to turn it over to alcohol again for temps. Have you picked the date you are going up with the racejeep? I Def want to be there for the first passes. Can not wait.
