[QUOTE="Dirty Dog, post: 465372, member: 24042"] And a 2005 Peterbilt 379 has a GVW of 52,000 pounds. An irrelevant comparison is an irrelevant comparison. If you're going to compare the Wrangler to a full sized pickup, the only reasonable comparison is to a 1/2 ton truck. A Wrangler build up easily increases the weight by 20% and can double the unsprung weight. A brake upgrade is absolutely a good idea, especially if you're planning on doing any actual off-roading, with inclines significantly steeper than any street vehicle is intended to see. [/QUOTE]
