When
Jeep introduced the TJ Wrangler in 1996, owners of CJ's and YJ's
became green with envy. The buzzwords flex and articulation
came to the forefront of discussions as everyone compared their rigs.
The neat thing is that it spawned an incredible wave of creativity in
the owners of the leaf-springed rigs. Buggy springs and Goofy Leafs
became more popular as everyone wanted that extra bit of flex and a
killer RTI ramp score.
Fast
Forward to 1999. This month, Warn will begin shipping it's new Black
Diamond long-travel suspension for the Jeep Wrangler (YJ). Not far
behind will be a kit for the CJ-7, a well.
Imagine the
looks on your buddy's face when your Wrangler's suspension stretches
more than 40" and scores a 1200 on a 20 degree index ramp or just
walks right over that waterfall in Las Cruces like it was a
super-highway. Oh, and wait until he rides with you and doesn't lose
his teeth on the trail! That's what this kit is all about. Extreme
4-wheeling without sacrificing a good ride.
The
kit uses Fox racing shox and has an optional remote reservoir with
adjustable compression damping so you can customize the ride of the
Jeep.
Warn says the
kit should take very minimum welding and can easily clear a 33x12.50
tire. It's also easily adaptable to clear a 35" tire.
Contact Warn or
your nearest Warn dealer
for more details on how to make your YJ an extreme machine.
