Thanks man I picked it up at Logan's metal products they are local to me and I couldn't build it for much less and they are beefy!

I think you'll like that hydro assist a lot. That's one of my favorite upgrades.

What is the point of an anti-wrap bar? I mean, I know what it's for. But why? If you have the right suspension then shouldn't you not need to worry about the leafs wrapping the axle?

Not sure I really understand what your asking? Correct suspension? My rear suspension is not correct for the vehicle is that what you mean?

Anti-wrap bars are to stop axle wrap right? Won't a good leaf pack and u bolts prevent that? Just seems like it's an extra precaution.

Softer leaf packs allow for more flex, if the jeep was just going to be driven on the street It would be fine but the added torque of bigger tires and gears, and gains and losses of traction offroad all put more stressed on the leaf pack than they are originally intended for. So I guess to answer your question yes they are a necessity in my case but in your case running stock power train and suspension then no you would not need them they would be a precaution!

I'm not stock, but I'm sure it depends on the type of wheeling you do as well. The biggest I'll be going is 33s with 4.10 and don't plan on running any type of anti-wrap bar.

I guess your just way better at building jeeps then, maybe I can schedule an appointment for you to run me through what all I did wrong on MY jeep! Maybe you should go on pirate and tell some of those guys that have anti wrap bars on their rigs that they have the wrong suspension! What works for you works for you and what works for me works for me! But If you ever decide to open an offroad shop let me know mine will be the first one in line waiting for one of your custom super suspensions on 33s!
