Mark is always bringing up the "rear" comments.  ()()

No he was "stuck" in the middle of the swamp. I had to climb out the door, onto the hood, and throw the cable to Kyle, who was laying on his hood  :D  It was fun.

It rides like a Cadillac compared to my junk. It has progressive springs that seem to work really well, but I think those shocks contribute to the ride a lot. I'm thinking of picking up some for mine.

Are you saying Rough Country shocks are good?

I might pick up some of their springs.

I am. They are super beefy and the piston is huge compared to others I'm used to and they have a built in rubber bump stop. And Kyle's Jeep rides freakin awesome now. So yeah, I like those shocks.

matt, the ride is about like stock. from what i hear once everything gets "broken in" it will ride better than stock. the shocks that came with this kit are rough country's new 2.2 shock.

ben, the "hood surfing" was when we forded the river that had over-run its banks up to that field on the way down to the boat ramp. steve plowed right thru it and his 37s were completly submersed...will and i were skeptical to say the least. but we made it ok. i got stuck on the way back (fell into a rut i guess) so will turned around, pulled nose-to-nose and we climbed onto our respective hoods to pass the cable o we wouldn't have to wade in waste-deep water that was probably about 40*f.

i sent zach from a to z an email and am waiting for his response to order my rock sliders because when we were testing the new lift out i managed to dent both rocker panels in. (damnit...more money into the jeep, i was trying to save some of my tax return)

i also tweaked my front bumper again...maybe i should just go ahead and get this while im on this spending spree? http://www.rokmen.com/products/diy_fabrication_parts/diy_4inch_front_bumpers/diy_4inch_front_bumper.html

be a great way for me to learn how to weld! (thanks will)

2.2 huh? Good to hear they ride good. Might have to consider the whole kit. My ranchos are stiff. What is the extended length on them?

not sure, but they still had room to pull out when the suspension was at full droop when we were installing them.
