thanks for a good response, cutting springs just doesnt work well, the ride will go to shit and the springs will lose all their strength
I actually found something on the jcwhitney site that im going to research a bit to see if that will work. I might just end up going with some shorter diameter tires as well, possibly 28" if that doesnt mess up the final drive ratio too much, stock on the JK X with the c package is 29" diameter on the 16" wheels.

I just was on the Dodge forum to say I was going to lift my Viper and make it into 4wd. Everyone loved the idea. Think about it- it would be very practical for the Ca. desert.

they are pushing close to 1200 hp in the drag neon cars so its been done with the 2.4 liter motor (possibly stroked or bored to 2.6)

ummm as for street driven cars, the AMS Turbo SRT-4 is pushing close to 800hp at the wheels, I think they hit close to 760 but I could be wrong, check their website for the actual dyno numbers

Seriously- dont be surprised if you see a JK with a Viper motor. There was a TJ at the last Sand Sports show in Costa Mesa, Ca. this last year that had one installed! Thing was baddass!
Was that the one Burnsville Offroad built? I always joked that if I ever sank real money into my XJ, that's what I would do to it. Didn't realize that something like that could be done.

When I graduate in a few years and can afford a new JK, that's what I'm planning on doing (that is, if a suitable factory alternative isn't available by then).

why dont you guys look into turbo 4 cylinders, you can make more power than that viper motor for half the weight and half the cost?

Feeding the trool or not. Reality is I was at my dealer the other day and there was a black Jk 2wd unlimited with 22's and a coffee can exhaust! The next time I'm there I will get some pics.
