Kyle has been doing a lot homework on the long arm setups. I def think you would benefit from a setup like that, you like to wheel the harder stuff and that is where the homework really pays off. You saw what Kyle can get out of stock arms with just a set of used rubi springs and long travel shocks, he's running 37's with no rub and more flex than any kit that comes to my place with almost no $$ into the setup.

"always end up spending money after coming to your place" I love hearing that! Think of it as helping the economy...awesome! When you do your suspension we could have an install day at my place if you want?

A few more. The green one is running stock suspension set up for full droop on 37's!! He has no rub and out flexed every jeep here on the rti ramp and the trail! He uses rubi springs and very long shocks. Amazing what can be done with almost no $$! I figuered the guy with the RK max travel would smoke him but not even close, the stock arms twist up like crazy??? To be honest when he described his setup I wasn't expecting much but then he showed up rocked everyone else here, I don't get it. There were some nice setup that got pretty embarassed. Still shocked two days later.

Def missed a good one! I had 15 FJ's request to come up for the day so didn't post it up. Figured too many rigs for the size of the place. Tried to cut the fj group down to 10 but they were pretty excited, good group of guys. Notice most pics not of fj's though, they were a little unsure of tying some stuff. They come with a rear locker stock and a front "a-trac" thing that works quite well.

Words, you should def check out the setup on the green jk. He was basically stocked and flat out smoked the modded rigs on flex. Runs 37's with no rub?? Cool setup for sure, showed you don't need to spend much to make it work.
