Looks good boss. Say do you know what the unsprung weight is up front? I see you are running air shocks. Me and some others have always wondered if we could run those in the front of our TJ's as an alternative to coilovers, but didn't know if the air shocks could hold up the weight.

These shocks will handle well over 1000# per corner. Can play with oil level and pressure to get the ride you want.

Thanks, Todd even at my heaviest estimates we wouldn't be pulling 1000 lbs. per corner on a TJ. I have seem them solely on a trail rig. Would you suggest running them on something that also sees street and highway time?
