I thought TFL (The Fast Lane) dropped a YouTube video of an air suspension system that will lower the ride height without compromising ground clearance.

How would that work? You can’t lower the ride height without compromising ground clearance.

Wtf even is that??

Appears to be a FreakShowBuilds x Quake LED build for SEMA '22, but like what's the actual purpose or intent for using small duallies on thin, stretched rubber?

Desperately looking for the confused/puking emoji and wondering why 2 forum sponsors actually invested money into these pointless "because we could" things ?

Same collab came up with these..

For me, this is the equivalent of buying a beautiful, dignified, honorable, working dog, like a lab or a shepherd, and then shaving it naked except for a glued, stiffened, bright pink mohawk.

Still, Jeeps are like haircuts and fashion: If a guy wants to wear a silly-looking douche-knot and clown shoes, that's his prerogative!

And when you buy a jeep you get to do whatever floats your boat to it. Live and let live, I always say.

It’s an air suspension system. See video below:

They're either lazy & don't care, or misinformed.

This should exclude diesel, XR, 392, 4xe (basically anything with the tall bump stops).
I thought that it could be for weight with the batteries and v-8 and diesel and then there’s rubicon model that throws all that out idk

@LoweredJeepGirl , welcome aboard! I wouldn’t tell you what color to paint your living room, and I’m certainly not going to tell you what to do with your Jeep. #joelhaditundercontrol

I was told by a co-worker here in FL that this is done by gay male drivers to “present” themselves and tell other fellow high front truck/Jeep drivers that they are gay. Kind of the same as how certain jail culture of wearing their pants past their butt to tell other inmates they are available.

Nope, I have no mobility issues. Thanks for your concern!
Appreciate your reply. However to clarify, I was not concerned whether you had mobility issues or not. That's none of my business.

Welcome to the forum! :like:

It's actually looks quite consistent.

You can't see if the steering wheel angle is changing. The wheels are loaded, the distance between the pitman arm is changing, the steering wheel will be spinning while the wheels point straight.
