Humm let me just say this, It drives like how these things should of when new... The steering is much more positive and It does not get any bump steer on corrugations..

It wonders a little at higher Speeds (over 70) but all WJ's do IMO.
The ride height is much better ( it sits similar to my Jeep and i love the height of that) u don't feel as though your sitting on top of the car u still feel like your in an ergonomic position..... ( big test for it as my mate is taking it on a 500Kms round trip over the weekend) - i'll report on that. He has a Aux tank - same as mine and will be interesting to see the range he gets out of 149lt @ 4'' with the 32's...


All in all though i think that with a bit of tweaking with the Castor from the Control arms and moving the track bar to a better position to avoid it fouling it is a real pleasure to drive....


The Great thing about these as well is too the 5-0 they dont look like there lifted much, they still look very street legal (unlike a TJ with a 4'' lift that looks like its on roids ) The WJ behaves very well and when its on the trails the articulation is very impressive..

MRGC will get some Dico'd shots for ya Asap

If I had my discos like that on the inside they would foul on the inner guard. Hell even the bold head was rubbing on one side until I pulled the swaybar over and put a pipe clamp on the swaybar to stop it moving over (got to get that trackbar replaced).

Thanx.....

[billsta]

had a cop pulled me over for RBT and he asked me if the claws are good on road... what did you think i was going to say :P

anyway if you think you are having too much trouble lifting a WJ.. get a simpler vehicle and play with it...

Hemi, just recieved my longarm kit, just wanted to know if you saw where the brake line spacers went?
