    Take a look at these PICs. Everything is connected to evertyhing. Can you tell me anything about how this bumper and the suspension work together.

    The sway bar is added. Looks like you have a wider axle from a later Jeep. The bumper mounts on the ends of the original frame horns with bolts - the original front crossmember is the piece of metal with the two big holes in it. The grille originally mounted on a single bushing in the center of the front crossmember. The front spring mounts are new - there should be no blocks under them, and they are too far forward. This means you have lengthened front springs. The frame has been extended with diamond plate. You can see the original end of the front frame; the front spring mounts used to be on the underside of the frame there.

    what he said.... I like the looks of that sway bar, I would add some quick disconnects on it for wheeling. Also has a shackle reversal.

    Not sure why they did all that they did, but looks like they did do decent work.
