Just took it from Cartersville down to terrel mill.  Plenty of access points and it’s wide enough to push cars over and get around if needed.  Bad enough accident would definitely hose things up though. 

The thing I really didn’t like though is when the overpass goes really high,  I swear it feels like it’s only a 2-3ft concrete wall that if you hit it for some reason you’d just go right over and drop 50+ft. One of our lifted Jeep’s would definitely ramp over it.

I was going to reply with "Well, probably not Jay's Jeep." 

But he's taken that joy away from me with the TJ.  Selfish...

I don't think my puny V6 would go fast enough but at least my suspension doesn't scare me from going above 60.

Nope Jay is setup now.  Those coilover angles are set to fly right over if he hits a barrier.

It’s not going above 60 that scares me but how fast it gets there. Things get real shady when you let off. 4 link this winter should fix that

I wouldn’t recommend that. He obviously needs more toob in his cage before attempting those kind of stunts

So let’s say someone is on the new reversible lanes in their Jeep and they lose control and are headed toward the low concrete wall.  Would it be better to have ORIs to soak up the impact or coilovers?

I guess that depends on what the difference is between the two.

Sam, I presume you're talking about how far it gets there, while on a trailer being pulled by a Ram?  Haven't seen or heard anything from your Hemi in a while.
