You people that post urban legends, innaccurate tech, and less then accurate physics really need to stop and think before you post. If you dont know what you are talking about, just stop.


Its as if 1.25 is some magic # around here.

And for some reason, people are willing to pay the premium for the 1.25 BL.

Sorry i dont have a better pic close up of the jeep right now. but do u really want the rear of your jeep to look like that. I hate how much space there is between my bumper and tub. and the pucks are huge.

Just by that picture, I can make several generalizations about the driver's use of his jeep and knowledge of it, as well.....2" BL, large tire on stock tire carrier, bushwacker flares.....ugh. Man that bugs me.

fragile, easy to break on the trails, most people see bushwacker flares like tube bumpers, basically mall queens

you dont need a suspension lift...

its proven you can run 33 inch tires on stock springs.
and if you want a little lift, add two inch coil spacers and stick 33's..

I did the black trails at Rousch Creek with no problem

Here's what I figure. Going back to MrBlaines comparison to my childhood buddy.
People lift their Jeep to make room for some bigger tires, usually much wider than stock and with less back spacing. Physics dictates that by increasing the stance, you make it more stable in an off caber situation.
Now I'm pretty sure your Jeep wont right itself like my ol' punchin bag buddy. But the wider stance will offset the body lift.
