what the hell are these, and what are they for? are they to give the Jeep a stiffer ride while on streets?
If I take them off, will I get a better ride?

They look like double end box wrenches. I think I see zerk fittings added. Impressive.
Those are sway bar links. They prevent the body from rolling when you turn. They also limit articulation, so many people unhook them for when they are offroad, and hook them back up again for the highway.
OP
ok, that makes sense, thank you. Im am VERY NEW to this stuff and we want to go to The Nellie E. Desert Bar and I was wondering what them things did. Is there anything else about the suspension I should know?
other than drop it in 4H and drive it like I stole it,
As far as day-to-day driving, really nothing. I'd keep the sway bar connected while you're still learning, and start modifying the way your suspension works as you find you need to. You won't need to disconnect them to get to Nellie E.ok, that makes sense, thank you. Im am VERY NEW to this stuff and we want to go to The Nellie E.

This is somewhat of a loaded question.
OP
ya, I need to find the time to wander off with some more experienced drivers. Thanx for the tip's
Is it really a loaded question? I'd say it's more likely a target.
I was thinking you were joking or thought it was April 1st. Glad you cleared things up for me.
I hope they're the ratcheting double end boxed wrenches. So much easier to disconnect.
They really DO look like wrenches! Interesting use of excess tools?I hope they're the ratcheting double end boxed wrenches. So much easier to disconnect.
Can we get a ruling on the field from @Jmac00 ?
OP
hell, I'll give it shot, Im 67(8) never tried this stuff before, time to live a little. If it breaks, I can fix it.
OP
tools are easier to carry when they are attached to the rig

My friend and I were up running the dirt roads on the back side of Big Bear the other day. Neither of us had been up there in probably 40 years and we managed to get turned around. At one point we stopped another Jeeper and asked if the road we were on lead to pavement. He wouldn't tell us because he thought we were putting him on about being turned around. I had to point out my Arkansas license tag to convince him we were serious.
Of course, judging by his eyes, he was high as a kite.
Fucking potheads now backroads and trails arent even safe. I say kill impaired drivers no second chance to kill someone else's family.
