I went to Chaos Off Road Park in WVa last weekend and had a great time. There were some very high dollar 4 door JK's there that had to have $70k to $80k in them. I took a pic of one crawling a few large rocks then I also went over them and got the same angle pic. The JK nearly lost his tie rod but it was aluminum so it just bent for a bit.
Kind of neat to compare. Notice the jeeps front tire is not on the ground and his rear is not at the top of the rock yet.

I am running a 2" body lift, Cage 3.5" suspension lift with Duff long arms and Duff front shock hoops. 37" BFG Gov issue tires with H1 Trail Worthy Fab wheels.

Great pics and comparison! I really need those duff long arms. I almost have the same set-up as you, but I don't see the same flex...

That JK has the Terraflex short arm kit, non-progressive springs so no it won't have the flex of the bronco. BTW a stock JK can go for $65,000, so.......

Does that trail only have 3 big rocks on it:)

You have a great looking and running rig, I bet if the JK had the same level of suspension mods you had it could flex all over as well.

Easy monthly payments on 65G, say 10G down, 72 months = $763 easy monthly payment, with 0% interest %)


For the OP, great comparo! I too believe the long arms gave you the articulable advantage.

I'm not naive to think folks havent spent that and more on their EB's as well, and rightfully so! :)
