Mine isn't set up that way yet... but I'm thinking that might be where I decide to lean with my Jeep

I'm building my son's XJ up along the route of a prerunner.
To this point there is no difference between a runner and a crawler.
I'm keeping his as low as possible, same as mine. His doesn't need as much armour as mine. I could truss below the axels on his. I'm not relocating his rear shock mounts, but I probably should. Shock overheating is an issue with his, not as much mine. He can use a cage and better harnasses.
But having said that...when his is done, we will 'test' them together at speed. I'll blow him away!

pre-runners(actually our chase rigs, not as nice as a pick up truck for stowing gear but can fit quite a bit with some creative packing:

Hey, I saw you in the Mira Mesa area. You were cutting through the parking lot where Wings and Things is. I was eating dinner when I saw your rig.
Very cool. What part of San Diego do you live in?

Mine is running a combo:
Skyjacker front coils with a 1" Spacer, Rancho pro series shocks
Rear is Rough Country 4" leafs with Rancho RS 9000.
Lower and Upper control arms by RE.
Reinforcements coming this month:
T and J stiffener kit, with a C Rok steering plate and the front chasis plates by TMR!
Overall, I can not be more pleased with how well i can do in the desert for what I have done....next, after reinforceing the chasis will come a cage......"with age comes the cage" and then stepping up to better shocks.
