We have recently expanded our test area with the help of a dozer, excavator, and lots of 36 tire swallowing concrete blocks. These obstacles really work the suspension and put the components of the Jeeps to the limit. Going out and testing Jeeps makes the work day a whole lot better.

Picture is a series of action shots… all of the cars at the high school get plowed in whenever they plow the lot so we use the jeep to pull them out. That Saturn was buried in two feet of snow and the Jeep pulled it out no problem. It is hard to see the tow strap in the picture but it is fastened to the D-rings on the bumper.

Note from Jim Van Bladel, John Hersey High School – Automotive / Computer Aided Drafting Instructor: Progress was slow around winter break but we are back on track now. We built the snorkel, made the back lights for the bumpers, welded up the rear bumper, attached the front fender flares, and we are doing some patchwork on the body before we put on the rears. There isn’t much metal on the rear back side of either fender so we are going to build a replacement panel before we bolt them on.

Stevie’s 1998 4.0L TJ Sport has the BDS 4.5” kit and ultimate disconnects, 4.56 gears, 33” BFG Mud terrains, old Olympic (we think) bumpers, full Borla exhaust and Ramsey electric winch. He reports the BDS ultimate disco’s are the doggies danglies (fantastic) and the BDS suspension sooooo much better than the Skyjacker stuff we took off. Better on and off road.

I bought the 3″ ultimate suspension with quick disconnects for my TJ about 2 months ago and took it to the Jeep Jamboree out in Bradford, PA this past weekend. I had to write you guys and let you know how kick ass the suspension is. I got through the trails and obstacles amazingly. I even took the Jeep up the ramp to test the flex and got a 94.1 (see my Bad Ass Ride photo). Other TJ’s with 4″ lifts by other companies were only getting around 86. It was incredible! Just wanted to let you all know I will always be recommending BDS. John Wefing – Bethlehem, PA View this lift kit View John’s Bad Ass Ride
