    BLUESMAN DID YOU GO WITH STOCK 60 FRONT END OR MODERN 60 FRONT END ?
    BOB


    I've got the modern 60 front, but it's sprung under for now. That causes some clearance problems I'll have to address at some point (read SOA front and shackle flip).

    I went with the http://www.offroaddesign.com/catalog/doubler.htm I also got it clocked 2 inches up, however I decided on not getting the twin sticks. I have never found a god use for them, other than to tell your friends "Yea, she's twin sticke'd to"!

    There are three distinct areas where twin-sticks come in handy:

    1) When you have a locker up front and are trying to turn, the front end will tend to push/slide. By unlocking the front axle, you get better turning radius back (not like our stuff doesn't already need a 40 acre field).

    2) If you have a problem with your rear driveline (lunch a shaft or cannot apply power for some reason) you can drive home in front wheel drive. This is VERY exhilerating if you have a front locker!!!

    3) If you're in a tight spot you can unlock the rear, break traction on the front and slide the front end around (think 270* hair-pin).

    Trails tend to be pretty tight here in the southeast, I'm more used to a shortwheelbase vehicle. I haven't wheeled my 715 yet. I used to 'wheel a CJ-7, and I could see where these tricks might come in handy with our trucks.

    3. commonly referred to as the "front dig". Makes for very sharp turns w/cutting brakes.

    ditto on the exhilarating drives LOL
