Re: HOW MUCH LIFT FOR ME?
 

Whatever, I watch and recorded the last ESPN rock crawling championships
and something with leaf springs won it. There seemed to be no way to edit it
to make that connection in a short mpg, so it deleted for now. When you want
strength and articulation you go with leaf springs, like your F350. If you
want a good road hugging car you go with rear wheel drive, coil independent
suspension front and rear, like my '89 T-Bird.

Screw flex, I want lift!

Ever notice how CJ's don't need that heavy rocker protection and extra
under carriage protection the new Jeep need?

There is a reason for this....

When a CJ lifts it wheel to go over a rock or series of them, it lifts
the whole side of the body and the undercarriage up out of the way.

When a TJ does this, it just lifts the wheel out of the way because it
has great 'flex' allowing the rockers and undercarriage to scrape along
the rocks... Hence the need for 'rock rails', etc...

My no-longer-in-the-stable F250 articulated like a Bobcat. Same with the

While I'm at it I may as well install Rockwell axles and 47" Swampers for a
daily driver.
