So...this has been a great week. Almost everything for the new build has arrived, but today's delivery has me feeling a bit nostalgic and reflected one of the hardest decisions I had to make - whether or not to keep my MC dual rate coils and 6Pak shocks.
Here's why...
Like all new jeepers, I made some questionable mod choices early on, but my 4.5" Mid-arm Game-changer lift was not one of them. That suspension took MM to places (and over obstacles) where other, similarly equipped, rigs struggled to go - sometimes with better drivers behind the wheel
. It also handled much better on road than it did stock.
I kinda wish I had waited on the coil overs and seen what this suspension could do with these Fusion axles. But I guess shopping for Jeep parts while your jeep is out of commission is like going to the grocery store when you are hungry... everything seems like a 'why not?'
The past few months have been the best, but it's time to move forward. Don't get me wrong, I am excited about the new coil overs, but I'm holding on to my springs and 6Paks with the hopes that I'll find another JKU.
These are just the front shocks. The rears should be here next week and they are officially the last mod to arrive. Plenty to do in the mean time!
