Rmc wrote:I did all that too. But even with all that when you come down hard on a single front tire there like a noodle. I plated the unibody rails front to back and had my rock sliders incorporated. I was amazed early on at both how well they flew and the approach and departure capabilities. Few SUV 's jump like an xj , which is part of why it got wrecked. I caught air off a hilltop once and bicycled the whole draw between hills . If I had 'nt grabbed for gears accidentally shifting into 4hi and standing on the gas I would have endoed much earlier on in my heep ownership experience. I blame a 20 beers and 2 sparks for the loss of it. I have no talent at driving otherwise I'd say I ran out of that too lol. Fun trucks though or whatever you want to call them.
Old Man Emu 2" spring, no bump stop extension needed if you run a 265 tire with stock offset wheel. Rear shock was a 2.25 dirt logic 12" (i think) shock....front shock was a custom 2.5" pin top that shockseals kris and i made. All the rest of suspension stock. Good for 9.5" of front travel and 12" in the rear. I have seen some pictures of the king jk shocks adapted to a WJ, but it looked like in the pics bump travel would be limited. You would have to cycle it through to be sure.robertcrav wrote:John what lift kit/shocks were on the wj?

Skilton prerunner was on 33" tires with a prototype rubicon lift that i'm not sure ever made production, about a 4" lift I think...radflow shocks front and rear. Fronts shocks on custom mounts similiar to a jeepspeed setup, and rears in stock location.robertcrav wrote:John what lift kit/shocks were on the wj?

O ya, and just remembered, I think T&J's developed some weld on rear bracketry to eliminate factory rear 4 link. They have used it on a couple of jeepspeed WJ's, I think it was similiar to the geometry run on Rubicon protype kit.robertcrav wrote:John what lift kit/shocks were on the wj?

Billy Bunch still has it last I heard. The last time I saw it was in skyler go pro footage earlier this year when Skyler passed Billy in a Jeepspeed 1 car. Sad.Nick wrote:Where did 303 end up, Jon?
