Been a few days since the new bars were installed. On-road handling is much improved. The float is gone, body roll reduced and no nose dive on the brakes. I can tell that the suspension is not ballanced front to rear. Nothing that bothers me, but I can tell it.

No settling as of yet.

Off-road - we went up the mountain yesterday. I can tell a big difference off-road. You can feel a lot more. You can also feel when you back into <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/sleeping.gif" alt="" /> a large bolder when you are not paying attention <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/zombie.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cyclops.gif" alt="" />...OOps <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif" alt="" /> I was going to take "on location" pics, but I was embarrassed since the whole crew was with me.

Now, I need to find a Driver's side rear half bumper and the grey plastic corner. I think I found a donor vehicle. Gotta make time to get by there and ask. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shiner.gif" alt="" />

and who said body damage was cool? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Some OME rear springs would probably balance that out nicely...not sure about first gens though.

Joe D has a set of OME springs for the Troopers and also a set of Heavy Duty OME springs.

I'd say that'd more than balance it out.

I want to see how the extra weight on the frontwill effect the handling first.

I am mounting the highlift to the front brush guard and will add a winch later.

Not sure if this will change it much. Anyone got some before and after results with adding weight to the front on swayaways?
