Tried to disconect my front sway bar. Began to look like a bigger project than I was about to undertake in 4 degree temperatures. So I just took her out into the back woods and had a bit of fun.

YES SIR! haha got the beam for free and cut it to length after i customized the front of the frame with a bunch of angle iron so it would be able to support the bumper as well as keep it from ripping off when i use my winch!

Drove the Cherokee past the 200k mark just a few minutes ago. First vehicle I've ever had that I still had at 200k and its going strong.

No mine did not which did not help. The main thing is really how hard you twist it up. The supports will help.

Shackles. Even though I have new leafs I don't want an add-a-leaf.

Go for it. The shackles are beefy! If I were you I would look into a shackle relocation kit because your shackle is gonna be vertical (bad). That kit will improve the ride aswell

Well I ordered my kit thru eBay but it was sent out of fat bobs, and I got the kit without shocks and did ranchos, so I'm not really sure

Parked mine and went wheeling in my buddy's. we busted his tranny line and smashed the oil ban against the block. It's lifted 2 inches and we didn't really hit anything hard. It sprayed when it happened to him. You can see a trail leading from where it happened to our friends place where I parked mine. At lease we didn't have to limp it across town like when it happened to me. Here's a pic of when it happened to me.(this time it was less then a mile) His is way more oily then mine was. Pretty much everywhere even on the rear axle
