Is 8.25 really that bad for this application ? I mean, just look at it, it's not going to be in a situation that it breaks.



Edit: It could always be worse..... Imagine if it was a 2wd XJ !



-DOES ANYONE ELSE NOTICE how the roof rack things are so close together ! Bugging the crap out of me !

your statement brings back too many memories from my youth of guys with huge body lifts, either drilled 4X4 blocks or stacked 2X4s, watch them brake & body sway back & forth hard. seen plenty of wood axle blocks as well. compared to some stuff I saw growing up, thats safe, lol, but its dangerous as heck....
