Re: Need softer springs...
 
Hi Nick,
If all you're going to do is climb a ramp, on a perfectly flat
street and not in any danger of rolling over like most Jeep trails then
disconnect your sway bars.

Re: Need softer springs...
 
Yes, I am disconnecting my sway bars and I am running NO track bars front or
rear. Also I have an OX in the front, thank god, since with these stiff
spring I can' seem to keep tires on the ground. Unfortunatly I am open in
the back and the rear spring are really stiff, espessialy with no weight
back there.
