    So for all those non believers, this is what they look installed.

    Looks good! Very flexy WK.

    Interesting to see that it appears to be the same configuration that other folks have tried (based on the JKS modeling). How are you (JBA) preventing long-term bolt-shearing on that bottom bolt/post? That's been the trouble-spot for all those (including me) who've tried something similar: all seems to be well and good for miles and months until one day it loads up in a turn or in a bind and the bolt snips clean. Made us (4xG) shy away from offering it to the market given the legal concerns.

    You've obviously solved the issue, since you're selling them to people, so how did you do it, I wonder? Or is that a trade secret?

    The post design/material has many years and miles of use on the Libertys.

    BTW, the rear sway bar is still connected. I can't understand the reasoning to disconnect the rear. Just like on TJ's, leavinged it hook up forces the front suspension to work better and more balanced.

    Interesting. Good luck with it.

    I agree about the rear, by the way. It has never made much sense to me to pop it loose.

    THere has been a lot of discussion about your products lately. Especially the 4" lift and why the price is so high. Maybe you can explain what comes in your lift we didn't notice any brackets to drop the front diff. Also notice your working on a 6" lift we have discussed this as well only guessing at how your going to do it. Any information you can give us would be great. Thanks

    Well part of the high cost of the kit was the Bilstein 7100 shocks that were custom size and valved for this application. The sprngs were wound for us, not off the shelf, which adds to the cost. There are no drop brackets in this kit. As far as the lifts we are considering getting away from Bilstien and going remote reservoir from another manufacturer. I will keep everyone in the loop.
