Ok, so you have a YJ with 4 tired squirrles and (soon to be) an automatic. You have a HP HD-D44 full-width front (bare-no brackets) and a D60HD rear axle (also bare) and a set of 37inch donuts.

Now if you could only afford 2 coil-over shocks, and you already have a set of coils, which end would you put them at, front or rear?


Oh yea, you also have the following, a set (4) of RE YJ 4.5 XD leaves, 2 RE TJ front 3.5 coils, and the arms from an RK XJ front long-arm conversion.

i know a guy one 35s with 4 tired squirrels and rancho airs up front that can beat anyone in an offroad race :D Hes slightly stupid/crazy but i dont think that gives him THAT much of an edge does it?

but X2 on what todd. the fronts wont have a chance to get as hot as the rear and youd want to keep the front soft and supple
