So I have a 3-inch Mopar lift which allows me to wheel over some decent sized boulders. Big Whoop. What do you call the suspension mods that allow for the articulation exhibited? The principal attraction to me is that the body stays level. When I am leaning over that is quite distracting.

In round figures, what would guess this mod would cost including labor.

Thanks

in this photo?

Those are just ORI struts. I don't have a number on them but I know they're expensive, though they'll be the last one you'll need because they can be rebuilt. You're looking at a pretty penny though.

I think there's also some frame and a few body panels from what looks like a JK Wrangler in there too..

Long travel struts, no sway bars, no fenders, no track bars, no drag link, rear tube and frame cut off for clearance, likely tons but cant tell from the photo. He has some decent flex.

Basically a trail rig. Good bit of work and a nice F250 and trailer to get it around.

You guys have given me a basic education on struts. It looks like about $900x4, plus a gadget to inflate it with nitrogen, a fix-it kit, etc. Maybe 5K all in.
It looks like they would allow you to have cocktails over any terrain.
One source says they are great on the road also, so guessing just the struts would not require it to be trailered.
We really need these.

You arent going to put just the struts on and look like that on the trail.

TheDirtman

Right, you can get the same flex with some cheap air shocks. You got to clearance the jeep for that kind of travel. I would say those are at least 16" of travel and more likely 18". The full hydraulic steering up front removes all the binding you get from a track bar and drag link.

that is a buggy that started out as a jkl but it is a buggy. Not much left over from it's former self.
