2007 Jeep JK Wrangler Runaround - Suspension

8 Jks, 16 Guys, And No Rest For The Weary

By Jerrod Jones, Photography by , , John Luker

Black Diamond by Superlift was a welcomed returnee to the program. Last year, Superlift came in at just three points behind the winner, and at less than half the price. That makes them a winner in our book, and probably the more popular choice for a Jeep owner. If they've followed the same recipe as last year, we know they'll be a force to reckon with in this test.

Notables
* Rockrunner arms with threaded pivot
* OE-style sway-bar links with zerk fittings
* Simple kit to install

Praises
* Outstanding OEM-style antisway-bar links
* Nice coil-spring choice
* Fun and controlled suspension oscillation
* Good relocation of steering stabilizer

Complaints
* Rough in whoops sections
* Not enough front wheel travel
* Lots of head toss
* Shock fade seemed premature
