    Don't go during Jeep Safari (whenever that is, dunno) - otherwise you'll be stuck on trails waiting for hundreds of Jeeps to go through :D

    Yeah me personally I'd rather sacrifice a inch or 2 of belly height for nice flat links. Worst case scenario you belly out and pull cable

    Same thing as an ARB, just a little cheaper. Can't tell the difference between one and the other, same operation.

    Having flat links with my setup was practically impossible :D

    haha Yeah Being deployed 6-8 months out of the year I bring home some pretty interesting shit...I agree on the turn down, mine is dumped just in front of axle and it has little cab noise.
    Moab is on my bucket list for sure, never gone. I'm a little spoiled living 40 min from KOH playground in Johnson valley.

    X2^^ Having a V6 and retaining my Cali Smog crap, that limited my upper link. No flat links here just 37" with 22" frame height...guess I can't complain to much:D

    Put mine on the scale today.

    4100lbs with 230lb me in it and a half a tank of fuel. Not too bad. 2500lbs on the front axle and 1600 on the rear.
