We are inactive. But I like them we do an occasional mabell run some other stuff here and there. They are great guys. But does your gfs jeep have a double shear tb? How are the unit bearings? And such.....

Rubicon express 1660 double shear track bar and their heavy duty bracket, just did both unit bearings and the steering linkage is tight. Driver side ball joints have almost a 1/2" of up and down travel when I pry up on the bottom of the tire with a bar. So even if it doesnt completely solve the problem, it is definitely a huge contributor

Looks beefy! From what Ive read, the track bar and drag link should be close to parallel but if it drives good F it

So I flushed my transmission. (Overheated bad)

It drives but reverse is eh in high it slips if you try and go to fast in low range I don't have any issues with it.

It drives nice very mild bump steer no wobble no complaints. It actually drives better than stock! And the rear shocks are working great! Name:  591092BD-A2F4-49B4-8594-151610B61DFA_zps0pg7ymtv.jpg
