    ok, so now that i will be putting the cases in there, I have decided that it is also going to need some more whellbase. Say around 103". I think i am going to use some cherokee springs and french that hangers into the framerails.

    It should handle alot better with the leafs than the crappy 4link as well

    If you're being sarcastic, it isn't funny.

    Here's an idea. Say you want a 10" stretch. Measure how long the stock links are, and make new ones 10" longer. Then move the track bar and coil buckets back. It'll work alot better than leaf springs, and likely actually be on the low side of antisquat.

    He would essentially have to back-half his Jeep to move the coil buckets back from where they are. Try looking at a TJ's frame some time and tell me things weren't designed to stay where Jeep put them.

    yeah, thats the problem with moving the buckets, Ide have to chop off the frame and build a new one. Not something I would do or have the time to do on a DD

    you don't have to make a new rear clip the kick just needs to be moved back. if you buy a fuel cell, lengthening the stock clip would be a weekend deal if you had good mig
