Rugged Ridge tailgate stop. It requires a HUGE hole to be drilled in the tailgate and the stop doesn't work well at all. I don't even use it anymore because if you forget to slide it closed and try to shut the tailgate it will bend the slide.

Rattle can rubberized undercoating. I know......line-x is the way to go but I wasn't doing a big area. All I can say is thank god for paint stripper (takes that spray on rubberized crap right off)!!!

Full Traction 2" BB.

Rear spacers went bad, springs came out of the pocket. The front trackbar relocation bracket made the bumpsteer so bad the Jeep was difficult to keep on the road.

In throwing good money after bad, I just ordered a 2.5 Teraflex spring lift from Northridge4x4 yesterday.

hi-lift tailgate mount -- the bolts ended up snapping when offroading.

inclinometer -- I don't even use it. Just an aesthetic waste.

Rampage HiLift mount. Utter junk. The upper mount is grossly underengineered and requires you to have three hands in order to attach the jack. In addition, it loosens up constantly despite changing the supplied hardware to include nylocks and lock washers. Finally, it bangs and clangs so badly that it sounds like your driving a dump truck full of scrap metal (and that's on the street).
