To be completely honest I really don't know whats going on. Michael and Gerald are currently reviewing what happened to ensure the right shocks get sent out to me. I know the shocks I have now are wrong, but they are using the part number to find out why they are wrong. I called Katie today and asked. I should know something in a day or so. I'm not really in the biggest rush just because its snowing and I can drive the TJ. Although I can't say the same if its not on the path of being straightened out at the end of the month lol.
You can really tell I was resisting.. to the best of my ability ahahahaha. Join the dark side!

I started in the 4th position and switched to the 5th position, body roll is about the same since I lifted it. I believe it would be significantly more pronounced if I had no lift or stock height. I've been off camber with it, but having not been seriously off camber I can't commit on the stability - yet. At ~$300.00 for the regular one I believe its worth it, if you want the bling factor you could get the same I have. I would pay anything to not have to climb under a muddy Jeep and put the pins back in (I don't mind mud, I just end up getting it on my seats and my seats mind mud). It was easy to think of it as buying JKS Disco's twice. Ask me again when I wheel near some rocks and I can give you a better idea.
All those bump stops are controlling your body roll too. Well, at least you aren't trashing your shocks like I am. Ugh!

Seriously reconsidering the lunchbox front locker thing right about now 
. I’ve never driven 4wd in snow, that certainly won’t be my last time.

In light of my shock shenanigans I managed to get the photos from my buddy from our past couple rides, so here is a smorgasbord of photos over the past couple months:

The high pinion 30 looks so damn good under there. And love the pics of your Jeep in the rocks.In light of my shock shenanigans I managed to get the photos from my buddy from our past couple rides, so here is a smorgasbord of photos over the past couple months:

Thank you! Really trying to ride every other weekend.
I appreciate it! Wish we had more rocks around here, although the more people I meet the more riding trails I find. I agree about the HP, very glad I went that route. Tbh there is no reason why Jeep didn’t put it on the TJ in the first place.
Makes you wonder why they did it. I have so many questions Id love Jeep to answer.
OP
I mean it was a perfect swap, drop the old one, install the new one. I’m sure it had to do with saving coin.
OP
Yes!!
Also, I am currently pursuing one more large Jeep mod so if all works out I will score one more cool thing (That’s seriously it for Jeep mods that are expensive for quite some time though). Time will tell, its a long way away (Disrance). For now, stoked for this armor!
