yes sir. My rig is not a daily driver. And is 90% crawling. I know that there is a huge differant set up between crawling and go fast. But I can still dream.

Ever think of running ORI struts? Cheaper in the end vs coil overs and air bumps and eliminates the need for a sway bar for body roll.

not really. Already have the coil overs and bumps. But very interesting.

Right, if you can get around a 15 degree angle from the top mount to the bottom mount will help with sway and body roll. This may be hard to do with the factory width axles though. Thanks Mertz, I forgot about that.
