im having fun just listening to all you guys argue and bicker over something so dumb...you can easily say "no there are no lowering kits because nobody wants to lower their Jeeps here and there is no market for them", yet your too ignorant and like to mock people for doing something different

as for driving in NYC, the only off roading most people do here is driving through the cross bronx expressway potholes before the GW bridge and trying to maneuver between a yellow taxi cab driver who doesnt understand English, an NYPD officer driving and eating a krispy creme jelly donut at the same time with his siren on spilling his cup of coffee, and some bitch doing her make-up in the rearview mirror in an Escalade full of kids on the way to soccer practice.

so guys relax with the stupid comments, I have no other questions to ask from you unhelpful people with the exception of 2 or three that actually answered the question and I will be calling the companies you listed that can help me
for those 2 or 3 people I say thank you

for the rest of you guys, have fun with your jeeps whichever way makes you happy, whether that means making it as tall as a skyscraper or just keeping it the way it came from the factory, just don't bad mouth others for doing something unique to theirs...

Well, as for some of the negative people here, just calm down, he isn't talking about lowering your Jeep. We all own our own Jeeps. Personally I wouldn't lower a Jeep, but if that is your thing, so be it.

Snake, I have not seen too much for lowering Jeeps, but then again that isn't my thing. My main suggestion, do it safely! I am sure that there are some places you can get custom springs for it and shocks shouldn't be too tough. You may(key word here) have to air bag it to get the effect you are looking for. As for horsepower, I am pretty sure that there is a company that is looking at making a supercharger for the v6 in the new Jeeps. I would not be surprised if you could make the turbos off of another Chrysler product fit in there too. Honestly I would go that route for power, since it is the best for miles per gallon. And even though you will probably catch flak, let us know what you find and how it goes. You obviously do good work, since the pics you posted all look really good.

Keep it safe.

I think Snake is looking for something like this. It is a Jk that DUB built for the Tony Hawk foundation. It will be displayed at the DUB show/concerts this year.
enjoy.

Don't take any offense please, but I really don't give a shit about who rethinks what. I don't like hearing threats, especially on a friggin Jeep forum. I joined this forum to hear valuable insight and thoughts on the JK, not hear people pop their mouths off talking about shooting people. It's obnoxious and stupid and it drags the quality of the forum down.

Not offended at all Dean, none at all, but you can't change anything that happen's on this forum no matter how you feel.....some will joke about things & some will get a lttle more critical with their comments.

Dean,
I'm confused, you refered to a quote by me that I made in response to a Comment by Snake.

Everyone should pay attention to this post. This is one of the more intelligent posts I have seen in a while.
Kind words indeed, no-one has ever refered to me as Intelligent before - Actually, I think my Wife refers to me as a Dumbass most of the time. What I don't understand is why a Senior Member of Such a Great Webpage and the Best Forum I have ever joined, would follow up with the following:

This sort of shit is low-class and makes people look like redneck a$$holes. It also makes the rest of the Jeep community look like a bunch of losers.
Some of us on the board don't take threats very well. Besides being illegal, you may be shocked to find out how far people will go to retaliate to that sort of garbage. So if you're one of the shit-talkers who threatens on this board, it's time to STFU.
To everyone else following this thread, they read the follow-up by Snake and the Next by Me and realized that the "Threats" were just a little Ribbing and Trash talking by a couple of fellow Jeep Enthusiasts. I mean really, let's all sit back for a minute and Imagine that Dean says in a post that he wants to buy a trailer to pull his ATV because, after investing Shitloads of cash on Aftermarket Kit for His Rubicon, he doesn't want to get it Dusty. Ten WebPages of having fun poked at you because you made a comment that every one thinks is Ridiculous (We all are entitled to have our opinions and Snake has been taking it for Ten Pages), you get a little tired of it and for a brief moment and make a comment that some people take the wrong way. I like to think that my response to Snake on what should be called "The Hospital Comment Scandal", made him see that some members took it the wrong way. He then made the comment that he did not intend to Offend or threaten anyone. Everyone believed him and the Joking Resumed. Pictures were sent, someone found an example of what Snake envisioned - It was a Great Day for the Lowering Idea. I bet everyone thinks that the Blacked Out and Tinted Ride is Awesome.

Then I stop and think about what I just Read, which will be remembered as "The STFU Scandle" by Us for a long time I'm sure.

Nam6869usmc said it best:

I'm real sure that all these people will stop immediately because of your very strong ("STFU") statement. I really think they'll all sit back, re-think what they've typed, how they feel about this thread, and apologize. I'll watch & wait because it'll probably start real soon.
You can almost see his eyes roll back as he writes the first line, knowing that you stomped the "Burning Bag of Shit" you found on your door step, then proceeded to yell at every child on the Street.

We can say thinks out of context, say I'm sorry or not, my Wife can Yell Dumbass - That Is our Right - Freedom of Speech Remember. But Yelling at Every Kid on the Street (STFU????????????) for the actions of Two (Which has Been Resolved By the Way) is uncalled for and in Bad Taste.

Read all the posts before you try to shut us all up.

I was wondering if you were a Shriner, maybe the Picture used to Poke fun and your little Yellow CJ5 Hurt your feelings?

Like I Said Before, If you type something and press send, you have to be willing to hear all, and Grow some Thicker Skin.

Look in the Mirror and repeat after me:
I'm Good Enough, Smart Enough, and Dog Gonnit People Like Me,
Except my wife because I'm a Dumbass.
