First there are more shock choices you can use ......Second they give me an extra half inch in axle drop (moves the bottom of the shock up half an inch) = closer to neutral shock mount since I am running 3" lift shocks with 5" of Lift ....Third bar pins suck I had a previous jeep that would blow out the rubber bushing cause of the play in the bar pin ( it can move lateral and vertically) you know slide back and forth......then all you heard was a big clunk every time you hit a bump.....I put these on it and never had that problem again......Fourth it was an excuse to wrench on my jeep hahaha lol

wow...i bought some of rustys Bar pin eleminators a while back...never got them on...but i really need to. my rubber bushings are destroyed in the back. every bump i hit its a huge clunk and everybody asks whats wrong with my jeep. i was planning on bolting them on...then welding them on because they have a different design, and im done with breaking bolts that screw into the sub frame...not fun

Heres the u bolt upgrade for the rear yolk I did on the Dana 44 today from Winston427 thanks man Link below to the how to ( Side note on a Dana 44 the yoke is is bigger so when I tightened the u bolts down they bent cause the nut was in contact with the yolk I dont think it made them weaker but who knows we will see.

Clearance......So instead of adding more bump stop to the front because it rubs a full flex......... I did some cutting and moved the fender flair up to keep a stock look
Here it is after I cut the front of the fender flush with the light
