My jeep came factory with SR and I have to say I like it that way. It tracks down the road great. I feel this is a plus if you drive your jeep to the trailhead. I do seem have front wheel hop more in loose gravel/Rock ascents than my non SR compadres. I do like the way the axle moves under compression from articulation. I dont have any cracks on my frame and it is a 1955 with dana 44's and SOA alcan springs. I did see a fellow club member not make it up an obstical in moab where a SR jeep made it up fine. Both were running revolvers After reviewing our tapes we noticed that on a steep ascent the front end "opened up" and caused him to slide sidways. The SR jeep did not have that problem. I know that many of you do not run "revolting shackles" or whatever you call them but if you plan to go that route take that into consideration.
