    Last night while running to Target to pick up some forgotten items I was in an accident. While entering the left turn lane a tow truck decided he also wanted to enter it as well. His driver side front tire contacted my passenger rear and the impact spun me around so I was facing opposing...

    So-Cal: Set of 4 Full Traction 3" Springs 2007-2018 JK

    I have a set of 4 Full Traction 3" springs for a 2007-2018 JK. I believe the fronts may work on a TJ/LJ. They were still providing 3" of lift when I swapped them for 4" plush rides. They're fairly soft but not as soft as the plush rides. I'm asking $200 for all 4 or $100 a pair. Again I'm at...
