Haha! Toss the sway bar back up front. No shame in that. The ORIs are about 3.25" OD. What do your coilovers run? Oh, and the shaft is 1.75".

I think there around 3.5 on the od. I have 2.0s and my shaft is only 3/4! Mine doesn't sway to bad, but i can make it go nuts if i try and powerslide a corner lol. It's sad when my thoughts of wheeling when from comp grounds to snow piles on my curb i can flex on... Ha

Thanks, man. Feel free to stop by anytime. If I am not working on my Jeep, I'm usually working on someone else's Jeep. We have a local club as well. I think we are about 250 or so members now. There tends to be wheeling events once or twice a month. Stock Jeeps to built rigs, always something for everyone.

That would be great, I just recently had surgery so I'm out of work for three more months, plenty of free time, if you need it I'd be more than happy to come help ya out. Where do you guys go wheeling?

In MI, we usually end up at Bundy Hill or Rocks and Valleys. R&V is much better than Bundy, but Bundy is really close. A lot of people head up to Drummond Island once or twice a year. Great wheeling, just a little more water and mud than I care for. The fun stuff starts when you leave MI. Badlands is next closest, and that is IN. After that, PA, TN, KY (my favorite areas).
