You put a big lump of metal at the front end and not a whole lot over the rear end and give it that kind of power? At least the hardtop weighs more than a tent.

The 400lbs of unsprung weight known as wheels and tires doesn't help

Well no, obviously not. But curb weight or whatever is not what I am talking about. I mean weight distribution. Jeeps are incredibly front heavy - at least mine was. I had to actually put stuff in the back of it to keep the rear wheels from breaking traction in bad weather. It was worse when I put that Ford 8 inch rear end and re-geared it for bigger tires.
