How does a comp-cut and stretched 2dr on 40's fair against a 4 door lifted on 40's? Is it basically the same shit? Is there any advantage besides not having to stretch and chop the 4 door? I guess there would still be a slight weight difference between the two but would that make any difference?

A lot better approach and departure angles on the stretched 2 door.

Aren't the approach/departure angles on the 4dr within 0.1° of the 2dr?

MrChuckles

"Stretched" 2 door.

ronjenx

I'm not sure how that affects the angles on the front and back ends.

MrChuckles

Do you understand what a stretch entails? It moves the front axle forward and rear back, so that the tires are in contact with surfaces sooner, therefore, better approach and departure angles.

Here's a photo for reference. Co4lo's badass stretched JK.

Apparently not. I was thinking it involved making the frame/body longer.

MrChuckles

Oh no, some people have done that, but typically a stretch only involves the axles' position.

I just looked up "comp-cut". It's a little more obvious now. Never heard the term before.
Thanks.
