Yeah, I almost said something about death wobble, but didn't. I know a guy who bought a new JK, added a 4" lift, and sold it a year later due to death wobble. I like my SFA RAM Cummins, but it doesn't ride like the IFS GM/Chevy Duramax.

I took the road less traveled. Now I'm LOST.

For anyone who hasn't seen it, here is the allpar.com intelligent speculation about the 2017 Wrangler:

http://www.allpar.com/SUVs/jeep/wrangler/2017.html

A long-travel IFS, light-weighted, more aerodynamic Wrangler with a VM Motori 3.0L diesel that gets better gas mileage sounds pretty darned interesting to me!

I have both an IFS 03 KJ and a SFA 06 LJ Rubicon. The KJ handles so much better than the LJ it's not funny. I've come to think of my KJ almost as a rally vehicle. The (modified) LJ is a blast, but it definitely has more suspension and steering issues.

So I'm really interested in a long-travel IFS, diesel Wrangler, though I do hope the rear axle stays solid.
