I've accepted the fact that the draglink clunks and makes noise when hitting bumps but this is not a "Silent Ride System"
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Good to know, I'm still stuck between full traction 3.0 no maint. and the Rock Krawler 3.5 mid. This helps alot. Hmmm, it all comes down to the on road performance, Since it's a D.D foremost.....
Even though I emailed Chris @FT a detailed question last month and never heard back!!! No hard feelings though, I know you guys are busy!
Glad to hear the JK is back in stealth mode again!

It took me some time to figure out what I wanted also. This is my DD and I couldn't be happier with the on/off road response. I love the Bilstein 5100's.
