Good bye Unibody. Hello Full frame!
Looks good I like it.

Like I said.. thing I hate about XJ's you roll it and it's trashed. That thing with a stock roll cage is still g2g in a light upside down.

Having owned two sprung over vehicles, helping build one and riding in it. . . The ride is much softer. IMO they (the three i'm talking about) rode better than stock.


OP, nice pick up and pickup! I like the YJ and the Dodge! LOL Can you please do a test and report on how you like those PB Rockers? I think they will be my next investment. In the 35x12.5x15 size!

Man, to be honest i'm torn between the 35" PB Rockers (Radial) and the 35" SS LTB. I can't decide between the two. NOT trying to jack your thread here but I've already ran the 31" LTBs, now on the 34s. I just can't decide though. I've got a friend that runs the PBs but he's more into the Mud so automatically his opinion doesn't count! LOL!
