why did slee not use coilover on the SAS swap?

Didn't they mimic the 80 series 3 link setup because they were using a 80 series axle? Simplicity, I guess. A lot of the jeep guys ditch the coil/shock setup and go to coilovers as well.

the russian guy mentioned they began to use 200 series stock coilovers so I bet they would be appropriately valved for a 100 series. I am not sure about upper mounts on a 200 series though.

Looking at the 200 series section, I fail to see a lot of difference in the front IFS setups other than the obvious coilover/torsion bar diff.

why would this be much stronger than oem?

I guess there is this option as well

The cnc formed mounts are ususally stronger than the stamped pieces most OEMs use. Another cheap option is the F250 front shock mounts we used on leaf sprung setups to get longer shocks.

Did Pfran ever do this?

I'd love to see a kit to bolt in a stock 200 series coilover in a 100 series, even if stronger a-arms had to be used.

I like the bumpers you guys have on those 100s. Look good.
