that should be an easy fix up front, (when you get a little $$) I have the same issue up front, untill I 86 the leafs. & Im hoping sooner than later. Id like to get mine done by june.
other than that, it looks like a wheelin machine!!! Ill bet it is incredibly stable, being low slung & streched a bit. cant wait to see it in action.

Yes, you could play with coil rates if you've identified that it is indeed too high. However, I would start with a rear swaybar first and play around with oil and pressure levels on those airshocks .


Oh, and turn that upper heim.........

a sway bar is a little out of my price range right now lol but i might mess with the shocks.. but the front coil overs i know are too heavy .. i have 0 pressure in them and it still only goes down 3 inchs with the weight on it but hey i got them for free so its not too bad .. and i lost some travel in the front when i got rid of leafs and missing links but.. no axle wrap in the front helps and it drives alot better so for now i'll deal with the front sucking

and goose .. are you going to have yours linked for the rubicon?and yeah i think the 113" wheel base will be sweet it was at 86... then i wheeled it 4 trips at 100 now its finally almost long enought... but i heard 122 does pretty good on waterfalls

Looks cool i love a good zuki, as goat says if you play with the oil and air in the coils overs it likley will cost you nothing, maybe oil and it might solve the problem, but somewhere on here was a equation for figuring out your coil rate according to vechile weight maybe someone else will know what thread it was in

Looks good, little tweaking and you'll have the setup dialed.

Wasn't this thing on leafs like just a few weeks ago? If so I'm amazed at how fast it grew links...

thanks man... i love the way it feels so low.. its lower than it used to sit when it had 35's leaf springs and a 82 inch wheel base lol ... im worried it might be a little too low though but i'll find out soon :)

my wb is 113 and frame height is 19 just stock 1.3 with myside and a header

and that link set up is pretty freaking close to mine ... my lowers are farther out and my upper is build a little different but it seems to work pretty good!
