Isn't that what this thread is about?
This thread may be about cheapassedness, but that doesn't make it right.
But you do it anyway.
Yup, that's what the company pays me to do.
Ooh...I thought making something that DIDN'T BREAK was the point? And FWIW, Of ALL the off-road vehicles I've owned(the XJ being one of FIVE) I've ran blocks in the rear, and NEVER spit, Split, or broken a spring, D-shaft, or Shock. Maybe because if I cannot get over it, I don't mash the Stupid Pedal to try.
You call it a stupid pedal and say that you don't use it. I call it momentum and sometimes it's needed. If you aren't using it from time to time, then you must be on the bunny trails.
No more than any other Spring Over Vehicle......Unless you count the underrated STOCK springs....which I DO NOT have.
Still prone as it is, right? Thanks for helping me make my point.
This whole thread was about a person wanting to SAVE some money, and lift his junk on the cheap. Looks like if you are not running a 1500.00 Lift you are not poopie here. FWIW, there are MANY ways to lift a vehicle...and not all of them come from UPS.
Right, it's just that your method is the least desired.
I'm all for saving money. Just do it with FABRICATION and leave the ghetto fab to the low riders.
If you can't fabricate the right way, then spend money the right way.
