Shocks schmocks. I once drove my YJ 25 miles with no shocks, track bars, or
sway bars. It was definately a bouncy ride!

Hilariously enough, that's exactly how it's sitting right now. I drove
it a couple days to work (15 mi each way) - it was actually a lot of
fun, but I just don't want to screw anything up. It's amazing the
difference in ride from my old rear shocks which didn't do anything but
make the ride ridiculously harsh.
Oh yeah, then I had an issue with the front axle disconnect coming
unplugged, which connected the axle, which made me think I had seriously
messed up my steering system somehow - that was fun.
So I'll just wait another week or so for shocks.
