Thanks guys...

I know lots of guys have built packs like that, and ended up very happy for very little money. But there are SO many variables (each leaf's length, arc, springrate, and age) that it always takes a lot of trial and error to dial in both the ride, and the ride height, you're after.

Frankly, I really want something quick and easy, and get it back on the road. The thing was in the garage all spring, and the next 30-60 days are the very best time of year to dd an open jeep. To say nothing of the three different club meeting I'm gonna try to make in the next six days!

Besides, I've always wanted to try the traction bar, just to see how/if it'll work.
