Maybe I missed it in the thread but what is the reason for running air shocks up front and coilovers in the back, usually it's the other way around bc coilovers tend to be more stable than air shocks and support the weight of the front end better. Is it because you have 2.5" air shocks and only 2.0" coilovers and were worried about the strength of the 2.0" coilovers holding up the front end with a smaller shaft than the air shocks?

Yep, I ran air on all four corners of my TJ 4 linked and it was BAD until I put the Currie sway bar on it. I wanted to try this, It may not work? I love to try stuff for myself and say yep your rite it didnt or O MY watch this... I built this with NO prior Bouncer Knowledge, It may show? But I will thrash it and test what will or will not work... ?? :drinkers:

I really hope the doors and the Paddle shifters for the Doubler work out as well as I think they should? This could help alot of builds, The shifters I have to give credit to Cosmo! Awesome idea!!
