I know I know its crazy but did it anyway, dune bashing with ARB bumper is a killer and had to do something about it.

Did my first easy drive and worked perfect, tomorrow is the real test...will keep you posted with pics...

This is a great idea! X2 on what kj04 said.

I cant tell you how many times i've slammed that ARB down hard going fast through mud.

Make sure not to turn sharply, wouldn't there be contact by the wheels on those new shocks???

Jeep4me99 · **Posted:** Thu Jan 03, 2008 3:35 pm

sweet idea, but yea i see how rubbing could occur. Will it put too much pressure on 1 side of the lower a-arm causing it to twist/toque, and maybe even put too much on the lbj?

very cool stuff. does the wheel rub on full cock?

Jjay · **Posted:** Thu Jan 03, 2008 4:31 pm

no rubbing what so ever, ive tried left and right then jacked the car to check on flexing...nothing. I will go under tmrow to measure points and bracket size on top. trust me it works :lol:

So far it looks very promising! In due time I'll have an after market bumper so I will be following this thread.

exept for the part where I landed on another car...IT WAS INSANE...double shock made such a difference I actually recommend. I still need to get you some details and measurments.

Hope you enjoy the pics.

so did you run into that wrangler? :lol:

sorry for my lack of knowledge, but what exactly does the double shock setup help you out with? in other words, what aspect of the vehicle's performance exactly is this improving for you? great work on the fabrication of the mounts and stuff. seems like it worked out pretty well!

Kids playing with their toys in the sandbox. :lol:

I used to do that too when I was a kid, but my sandbox wasn't that big.

Any thoughts about mouting inside the UCA on either or both sides of the stock strut. I like the idea but would like to see it running the same direction of the strut assembly. VERY KEWL IDEA and FOLLOW THRU
