Well I was thinking about the mix of the lift and the 37" tires. A friend of mine has 37s on his RRC with a 4" lift and it's a bit hard to drive in a straight line.

Mine rides fine, drives straight and can do safely do 75 on the highway. I have a custom suspension and have a front sway bar...

Ahh the sway bar, the RRC lacks those. How do you like the Iroks? He has the Maxxis creepy crawlers and I'm a big fan.

just updated my sig...I love the creepy's, they are awesome. It's more than just the sway bar, big differences between the suspension in the RRC and D2. I built my own suspension, keeping the truck low and have 5" of up travel and 14" of down travel, add the tire radius to that it has sick amounts of travel and is stable at highway speeds. Plus I have 15" of clearance at the bottom of the diffs... I'll get a pic of it parked next to a D1 on a 3" lift

haha wow, 15" to the bottom of the diff, like 20+" to the axle? Why did you swap to the FZJ80 axle? I thought about portals for a bit but I'd only do that on a Defender, not worth my time on a DII.
