No, it's not yet.

The suspension is all one of stuff that Rubicon Express was prototyping before being sold and restructured. Shocks are Bilstein 9100s with resis that were most likely tuned by Steve Brightbill.

I'm not sure what leaf springs are on it and they looked a little haggard so it may get Deavers or whatever Thuren/Carli makes for the back.

Not really sure how well it's setup as Huntington Beach doesn't have very many whoops for testing...

I'd love to have TTB on it but making a TTB that would survive the weight and torque would be expensive due to how few OEM parts would be used. I've ridden in a few of these trucks with the factory front axle and they can work very well. Enough to fade the 2.65 shocks on it. I'm happy with that. I still have my Bronco and other crew cab if I need a TTB fix.

This should be comfy for the peninsula run next year...
