Main Topic: Low Center of Gravity Builds

Listener Feedback:

Hi Greg and Jeff,

I’ve recently made a triumphant return to the off-roading clan with my recent purchase of a 2014 2 door Rubicon back in January of this year. After unfortunately grenading / Jeffn’ my last Wrangler around 10 years ago, (it was a good death) now I’m ready to build myself a new ridge.
After powering through all your Off-Road and High Sierra pod casts (great job by the way you guys complement each other perfectly). That being said, I would like to pick your brains on a Low Center of Gravity build.

Greg, I now have the same approach to off-roading as you do smart crawling and keeping the pin in the grenade. I recall you stating that you would have liked to install an LC of G on your LJ, which intrigued me. Is that no longer the case for you JKU Rubi? And why?

I’m not looking to do any hardcore rock crawling but would still like to have a capable ridge if the mood arises. I looked up Rokmen for an LC of G but wasn’t able to find a package for a JK. Would you be able to suggest anyone else to look up?

Not really sure what components I would need to accomplish this but my ideal build would include a package that would give me great suspension travel without the top heaviness of a large lift and the ability to fit my JK in the garage without having to air down my tires. I would also like to keep my tire size to down to 34 or 35 inches. Help me Obi-Wan Kanobi you’re my only hope!
