If I go with coilovers will I need to modify the shock towers? I do like the fact that you can adjust them with the lock rings. Let's spec and price a set. So I have to rebuild them now and again. Most of my driving is highway so I suspect I will have quite a long interval despite driving a lot of miles.

And yes, reluctantly I accept the fact that I need to lose weight. The stuff on the jeep looks cool but the truth is I can't see any of it while I'm driving (accept the hood which looks really cool too). No need to carry the fuel cell on back or big bumpers. The suspension deserves a rest from carrying all of that around. And, I will always accept the feel of more power from having less weight as a nice side effect.
