F 550's had the Dana 135, the Dana 70 was used in older Dodge trucks and in newer GM trucks. Big freakin' axles made to move lots of weight. I'd be impressed to see an XJ with those underneath

That track bar doesn't allow your axle to have a lot of up and down travel !

As for me, I installed some of those cheap Baja fog lights. I'm tight on money and the snow/fog here has been pretty tough so far so this is a good "temporary" solution until my full-time job picks back up next month. Eventually I'll get some KC's or Hella's, but this will work for now.

Not as much as a double shear option could, but I'm sure it's go plenty of travel.

I am looking for the yellow fog lights, not just something to light up the world in front of me. During the heavy snow, my AutoPal H4 90w headlights are actually TOO bright, hence why I'm after something that is just yellow that would shine through the snow better.

How interesting the folks I know with them had them smoked after 2-3 trail runs to the point were they were making sad noises. I bet you can find a thread on here about it as well. Could just be they changed what they used.

Removed my front sway bar and drove around the block. Doesn't seem too bad without it.

What adjustable trac bar do yall recommend?

Iron Rock Offroad double shear.

I won't run anything else. It's a good price for what you get, and I've always had great service from them.
