i will have more travel than stock. I should have 4'' more drop than stock. I doubt the stock cv's will handle that and the new cv's will be stronger witch is nice when locked with 33''

rear shocks on the jba 4 are 10'' travel. In front I dont know but I guess they are close to 4''. I would say that those numbers are about the max you can go without some serious mods. |

http://www.offroadwarehouse.com/product ... 3/sfID3/98 1000 $ for 4 shox and 2 springs 600 $ 4'' jba springs and a arms less than 100 $ brakes lines if you shop around well I should say that MY cost is 500$ less because Im fabbing the adapters my self for the front shocks. That would be at least 300$ at a machine shop but you could replace the reservoir shox with emulsion shox and save 220$ and still have 90% of the performance. the real bummer with this kit is I dont think the stock axles will handle the 20% more travel and that is why I have new axles on the way. that will more than offset the cost difference but imho Its still a much better deal than the jba4 my kit sould be rolling in a few weeks so keep looking in this tread if you want to make one for your self |

When I had my resonator removed there was a noticeable sound...especially outside....then again I had a magnaflow muffler when the resonator was removed so I would not know the sound from a stock muffler. Advice for those with wifes or girlfriends...noticeable noise in the cabin when pressing the gas...my gf hates it but I love it so keep the resonator just in case you guys don't like the sound inside. |
