ALL?! even the JBA 4"??

yup that is what i was told. im sure if i had taken off the sway bar i could have done better. but more importantly the trails is where it mattered to me. i didnt get stuck once. and we went threw some nasty stuff. at one point i had to rock it for a min or two but i am very pleased with the 4 and how its doing. cant wait for badlands over holloween.

No, I only scored a 426 with no lift in a pre-lowered. But it was 2 points better than 'The Heep"! :wink:

From the looks of it taking the front swaybar would have helped the droop and stuff a lot. The driver's side had a long way to go before even coming close to rubbing, I wouldn't call it 'stuffed', and the passenger side has a lot more droop in my experience with just the Frankenlift.
The rear end looks maxed out for sure, I bet you could get more droop if you had just a little smaller tires and the same lift. Not saying you should drop down a tire size, just speculating on the RTI pics. I looked through at all the pics, and I'm dying to know...who had the best score on the RTI ramp? I'm talking out of all the Jeeps?
Looks like a lot of fun, in someone elses KJ. I stays away from the mud

But Grumpy "The Heep" got a better score than a stock YJ. Kinda sad on the YJ's part, getting out flexed by a stock AWD Astro.

There were a few Wranglers that had scores over 1000, that one Cherokee scored in the high 900s.

Did anyone air down their tires for the rti?

ihatemybike · **Posted:** Tue Jul 15, 2008 3:01 pm

I know a couple Wranglers did.
