ok, last night at work. i was talking to one of the guys that built my parts jeep. him and i both believe my jeep seats higher then the parts jeep did. i don't see how this can be. we swapt everything over from the parts jeep to the sport. changed nothing. the parts jeep was a 95 laredo and my jeep is a 96 sport. any idea why my jeep would seat 2 to 3 inches taller. i'm happy it seat higher then the parts jeep. just don't understand why.

plus, the guy i bought the parts jeep from said my jeep flexes and crawls better then his did.

oh, i know its not bent. the guy i bought it from hit somebody. but was not that bad. just pushed the bumper in and jacked one of the fender up. nothing major. i looked over the whole jeep from front to back when i put the axle under it. just to make sure it was not bent.

skyjacker nitro 8000. the only thing i can think of is his had power everything. seats, windows, etc. i really don't think the extra wiring and motors would add that much weight to the jeep.
