Heh, i've had the dirtbike, i guess the next step would be a dune buggy of sorts? ;-) I have a 4" lift on it as of, and when jumping (maybe a few feet in the air, dont think i've gotten more than 2.5-3ish. My buddy was waiting outside, and told me i wasn't near bottoming out... so i guess that's a good sign? I'm soon to upgrade my stock 3.07 diff to a 4.11, should i look for a whole axel setup instead? or will i be fine? I'm sure more than half of you have been through all that before, about how much will i be spending for new diffs, let a lone diffs and axels? thanks again [addsig]

I've got all stock yj 4 cyl suspension with 31s and i love to fly over railroad tracks. I only get about 6-8 inches of air. Will this eventualy come back to bite me in the ass?

if you are jumping any sort of vehicle you want look at what takes the pounding when you land... i would look at a stronger axle set up, hubs, and knuckles... ( horse collar and a helmet might be wise too.. but i'm not your momma)also stronger motor and trany mounts.. you shear those off your gona have problems.. jumping a jeep off dirt mounds is a whole lot different then jumping off rail road crossings.. the problem your gona find with rail road crossings is your dash and console will squeak non stop.... just my $0.02 [addsig]
