It's been my daily driver over this summer. Rides like a caddy. It's a little sketchy on the highway but it never sees the highway so it's fine for me. If it was going to be used on the highway it would probably be much better with a nice swaybar in the front, I would not blame the issues on the rear suspension at all. I put 7k miles on the street with zero problems related to suspension other than front bushings. I am looking for a new daily driver though for gas mileage reasons and to save tires, wear and tear on parts and have time to work on the cherokee and wheel it harder without worry of driving it Monday.

Unfortunately I can't say that I built it. The Clayton kit is pretty pricey and from what I understand, to have them install it is very pricey as well. The story I heard is a kid and his father dumped a ton of money into it and had Clayton do the whole build. Shortly after, the kid hit a tree or something, wrecked it hard. A friend of mine bought it very cheap and fixed the body damage, raced it and drove it, sold it to another friend who wheeled it for a couple years while he did a frame-up build on his YJ and I got it about a year ago for half of what the lift kit costs. I like to build things myself, but I was in desperate need of a daily driver, it was done right, had everything I wanted to start with and you can't go wrong with a 4-linked Cherokee for $1800.

On the first page of build threads right now there are three called "green machine" and one "green goblin"!
I wonder which color club has the most members on here. I'll be doing some research lol
