Just warrants an explanation once in a while
In that case...if you and I ever fly together...I WILL be in the left seat!!

Thats cool - it'd be a welcome change to merely be the navigator

Our standard 4" kit does not include a pitman arm.

Ah! I see thanks jeff for the clear up!

Guess that explains it then. Crazy old timers and their shananigans.

IMHO, nobody needs bar pin eliminators.

Im only planning on running Cooper STTs 32s so I don’t have to change my gears out…At least until they are worn or I blow my 44.

So Im thinking about going with the RC 3.25 w/stabilizer, discos, and rear trac bar bracket . Im not looking to spend a lot of money and have been reading awesome reviews about RC now that they are using the 2.2 shock. I only wish I could talk to someone who has had the lift on for over 30,000 miles.

Cause? Sorry not being mean or anything I just never changed out my bar pins and so I'm not sure of the benefit of these...

Bar Pin Eliminator is something you do when you are bored and already have done everything you need to modify on your jeep.

I'm a private pilot and have only flown unwillingly from the right seat once... it's all backwards and it was a scarey landing for me at a tricky airport with throttle in my left hand and and yoke in my right... totally bass-ackwards.

What's the suspension like Jerry? Did the plane have a Mid arm type lift on it like Blaine's?
