Im around 5 1/2 - 6" It was alright with just short arms but i got the drop brackets for it and it made a world of difference once i got the caster set up right. Went i first lifted it i was at 4 1/2" and on short arms it handled great then went to 5 1/2" and it was to much. Id say if you did 4 1/2 you would be fine and it would ride good.

it’s the WNYO “members” snow run. if a 1 or 2 other non-POS jeeps show up im sure no one will care. but if a bunch of trucks that can’t go anywhere and need to be towed around the entire time are there Im sure there will be some bitching. I wouldn’t suggest it without at least 1 locker, front and rear tow points and a good tow strap (without any metal)

to add to the RC thing. they had a shit spring distributor, and switched to a new spring distributor, claiming they were better.

alot of people said they were, but get on jeep forum, there isnt one person I know as of late with a YJ that isnt having problems with thier leaf springs, or with the size of the shock bodys

BDS. seems to be in high regard
