Huge THANKS! to Jeff for going through the trouble of swapping my rear stock sway bar for his Anti-Rock. I told him that I wanted the Anti-Rocks but wasn't physically able to get in there and do the swap. He said - "no sweat, I'll come over and knock it out". It took a little longer than expected but he stuck with it - I learned that he has a lot more patience than I do! I appreciate it Jeff.

Looks like another install party.

Sascha, how many times are we going to put springs on your jeep?

Until I am satisfied with my Jeep. Parting out the Rubicon, Icon_porc

I am just hoping that my control arms will adjust enough to handle to additional lift Parting out the Rubicon, Icon_clown

I wish I could do the axle swap, but I dont think It would go over very well if I sold a rubicon without a 44 front and no lockers Parting out the Rubicon, Icon_biggrin

they are already broken, after the recovery class at BVORR the front of the passenger side had stripped the nut totally out of the plastic and at katemcy one of the bolt heads, i'm sorry screw heads, was sheared off. I had to drill out the plastic and use a sheetrock expansion nut to reattach it. other than that i just don't have 450 for something like that but i could come up with some money for them axles. Parting out the Rubicon, Icon_biggrin let me know if you don't get rid of them and maybe we can talk then.

Put some non skid tap on there and your golden...pun intended. Those plastic side steps are going to get destroyed if you keep taking it off road (just a matter of time), so you have an excuse for your wife Parting out the Rubicon, Icon_biggrin .

yeah, they are a pain to put on, you have to drill a couple holes in the frame rails, and use sticky nuts, or whatever they call them to get them inside the frame rails to bolt them up, once they are on, you won't want to take them off.

And they work really well, I have tested these rails on multiple occasions. No rocker damage Parting out the Rubicon, Icon_smile

once you put them on....you're not gonna want to swap them out.

as far as the heels issue...ya don't step onto anything heel 1st right? If anything, just add a grap handle on that side.

fyi, my wife Brandi if 5'7" and wears heels everyday and doesn't seem to have a problem getting into my Jeep that only has the Rubi rails...even with the damn hooker heels she wore at our wedding

I'll take your 4.5 poly performance springs without the rubicon springs.
Let me know how we can best do the trade? I will be at Long's Ranch on October 17th.

I won't be able to make longs, but I could probably have some one bring them to you at longs...

That will work for me. I will give them the money and it will be an easy exchange.

Now update your items, you just sold the springs!!! Parting out the Rubicon, Icon_cheers

Dam! Lots of stuff.

If only I had a Rubicon axle to trade! I am also tempted for your upper control arms. However I was thinking I needed my lowers first.
