Bady and susp. lift

Post by gairbear »

K... I was just looking at a BL from performance accessories. They say that it's not recommended to sue a BL along with a susp. lift.

WHY?

Just to cover their rear from a liability standpoint. Higher center of gravity + rollover = lawsuit. Same reason why AMC or Jeep stopped using the term "roll bar" and started using the term "light Bar" after a big settlement when the roll bar failed and an occupant was killed.

IMO it is fine! Many have combined the 2 lifts.
