Default Too much articulation on a stock rubi?
Easy question: I had a chance to drive up one of those ramps where you can fully articulate the front suspension. Any risk in doing this on a stock JK Rubicon? Anything likely to break?

Your stock Rubicon is made to go slam it against some rocks and make it through the Rubicon Trail. Driving it up a little ramp is as easy for it as you looking at your wall.

If you use 4 low just remember to not turn on pavement. Drive to the ramp, then use 4 low and go slow.

Only thing you're going to break is your wallet from opening it so much
