Hey, these guys know their ****. They can be *******s sometimes, and they're very direct, but it's to make sure they get their point across. There are some sketchy projects that pop up on here, and they will tear people down fast if their work isn't safe. Too many people don't listen, and a lot of us are tired of trying to be nice.

Dennis is just a douche.

Drop it, These guys have all night to trash talk its not even worth it. Do whatever you want with it. Make em buy em whatever its your jeep but there are still people on here who will help you on deciding whats best. But i agree they dont have to be D**** about it.

I wouldn't bet on your "not great fab" skills on a hanger. were talking about keeping your rear axle attached to your xj. $40 ain't **** compared to your and others lives

To measure for custom arms, yes. To actually use, no, I'm not that stupid.

I don't go tellin people how ****ty of motor work they are when I am a lead engine tech at peterbilt and I have an ase cert in ac recovery and recycling ???? See where I'm goin from. I can tell u care but ur urge to be rude over rides it in my opinion.
Have fun.
