Man, those fox shocks are sexy!! Did you only get the fox shocks for the rear? What are you running up front?

Are you getting improved cornering with the sway bar? Is it just stiffer? or larger dia. too?

Hellwig sway bar is 1 1/8 inch. Supposed to be stiffer because it's a little larger. Helps a little. I got it just to help body roll a little. It is not real extreme and I don't drive fast... I have a 3.7. I need to charge up the pressure on the rear shocks. The leafs on the H3 are a little soft imho. Fox up front, too... with the SAW torsion bars. Shocks up front could use a little more gas, too. Purple Cranium looks cool and will provide protection when having to back off a pile of boulders, I guess. There is supposed to be a new diff skid coming from Boulder. Also, I heard somebody is going to do a rear coil/link swap for the H3 rear.

I stumbled on the new differential skid on Boulder Accessories website.

Here is a thread I started about it.

Very beefy, wish I could see the front to know if it is going to scoop up the mud. Don't know the price, but probably at least double what the spyder cover is. The plate looks cool from the back.

Hey Sewie,
I know this is an old tread but am considering getting the setup you recomended earlier in this thread. Are you still running all the same products now and have you had any issues? Also are the fox shocks really worth all the extra money over the Blisten conoco?

I think the Fox rule,

but they are a little softer than the bilstiens. Depends on what you want.....rock crawling, rough roads, desert terrain, etc.

The only thing I've changed is I swapped out the BPE's for some JKS ones. I wanted to gain back some shock travel and the JKS ones mount closer to stock. I haven't had any issues at all, except for me not torquing some bolts tight enough. :o

Fox vs. Bilstein is a tough argument. They're completely different shocks. But I've been very happy with the Bilstein's and would get them again in a heartbeat.

Sewie I know this is an old thread but what part number did you order for the JKS bar eliminator. I'm trying to piece this together.
