I wasn’t going there but since you threw it out...JK,
I was just going to say why not kiss and do the basic wiring and switch under the hood.

It was used for ABS on the TJ's that came with it.
OP
Put a fresh set of Bilstein shocks on the RV today. Those suckers have some serious charge! Thank goodness the coach has leveling jacks. Snuck the jeep in the shop and installed the BPE's to the rear and Ranchos back on. Ran out of time to get the front shocks swapped. Baby steps.
OP
I'll reserve judgement until I get the Ranchos back on the front. I can't really tell any stability difference between the two. Made a hard turn getting on the freeway on ramp and it feels the same.
What’s the shock length on those Bilsteins? Have you pulled the springs on the RV to set your Bump stops ? What’s the limiting factor ?
Droop ?
OP
The old ones don't look half bad. you should put them on your jeep You'll have droop for days!
OP
Finished up the wiring to the ARB. it's live, obnoxious, and full of hot air, kinda like me!
While I was at it, I took my 15 year amp hot wire and loomed it up with the ARB wiring for a cleaner look.

Just timed it. From 14psi to 27psi, almost exactly one minute! Not too shabby for this little guy!
OP
Now I just need to figure a way to convince the wife the jeep needs a Swaylock. Hmmm.
More stability= Better traction= bigger footprint/surface area= better mpg= saves you $$$
Works everytime
just gotta always swing back to the fact you will save money. Kinda like how regearing will pay for it self

How about the safety aspect. “Honey, I will be much safer driving the Jeep if it has a SwayLoc.”More stability= Better traction= bigger footprint/surface area= better mpg= saves you $$$

Oh, wait. What the hell was I thinking. My wife sleeps with a copy of my life insurance policy under her pillow...
Tell her it won't flip to the passenger side.
Tell her your old bar is worn out and could she help you choose a replacement, tell her you’re leaning (no pun intended) towards the AR but it makes your butt look bigger...her choice.

Routine maintenance day today. Oil change, tire rotation, lube chassis, and put the Ranchos back on the front. Drive home was much more enjoyable. Those JKS shocks may just compliment the dual rate JKS springs better me thinks.
OP
I'll take that inch of down travel back, thank you!
