On stock suspension I was bottoming out and actually smashed my tranny cooler lines... When I did my lift I put extended bump stops in. No issues now! They're worth the money unless you enjoy replacing parts.

Yeah. I paid about $25 vs the $90 I spent to replace the tranny lines. The tranny lines are in a bad spot. Right between the right upper control arm and the oil pan.

Track bar? You don't need a drop pitman arm. Get an IRO Double Shear, and be happy knowing it'll outlast you.

I think steering stabilizers are a waist of money. Getting replacement parts is nice. Being stuck on a trail or your Jeep sitting in your driveway because you saved a few on a track bar, not so nice.

A track bar is not something you'd want to "rig up" on the trail. I fear for the commuters that would share the highway with you if you did. Do it right, or don't do it at all.
