    Suspension solution for a very heavy 2007 JKU

    Sorry for being out of the loop! I've been swamped and had to put this project aside for a bit (plus I wasn't getting notifications on new posts). Right now I have a Body Armor rear bumper and tire carrier. It was cheap and it works (with some modifications). However, one downside is that...

    Suspension solution for a very heavy 2007 JKU

    I'll talk to Synergy too, thanks for the tip! I'm not opposed to coil spacers in the back but the problem becomes one of excessive height. To even things out I might have to use a 1" or larger spacer in the rear and I really don't want 4.5" of lift (or more). I just spoke with AEV again and...

    Suspension solution for a very heavy 2007 JKU

    It looks like everyone with the AEV lift has a heavy front bumper and winch. That's my problem. My front axle weight is not that much different from stock (loaded or unloaded). AEV couldn't come up with a solution for me that wouldn't have the front end much higher than the rear and that just...

    Suspension solution for a very heavy 2007 JKU

    A question for those with the AEV lift... do you have heavy front ends as well (bumper, winch, etc.) or is your weight distribution similar to mine? The AEV suspension with progressive rate springs sounds great but they told me that my front would be higher than the rear unloaded which doesn't...

    Suspension solution for a very heavy 2007 JKU

    Thanks for the feedback. Your weight distribution is similar to mine but you're a bit heavier. Do you have a heavy front bumper or winch? OME has suggested I run the 2620 rear spring and the 2617 (which is usually a rear spring) up front. How does your Jeep sit loaded and unloaded? Also...

    Suspension solution for a very heavy 2007 JKU

    I have a 2007 Unlimited Rubicon that I use for expedition style off-roading and camping. With the modifications I've made and all my gear, it's very heavy. I'm looking for advice on an suspension upgrade that will handle the load (and still be reasonable when unloaded). Current modifications...

    Abandoned/derelict sites

    That picture needs a little explaining. It's not actually a door but rather a wood air control wall. These are put in place (and often moved) when a mine is operating to control airflow and keep fresh air moving in active parts of the mine. Since part of our work involves detailed mapping, we...
