Still doesn't affect the cog, it just makes it heavier makes for a bigger slurpy in the gas tank :'(

yes it would????????

You don't have to know anything about axles, jeeps, etc. just take some low-level physics or something and you'll know, more weight lower on a beam (or brick in the case of a jeep) means a lower COG. Going into jeeps and lifting, it's unsprung weight, which means more weight staying directly parallel to the ground (it ignores body roll, because it's not part of the body y'know?), and therefore, a more stable driving platform. Also, I believe moz is putting full width axles? That means wider track base, and, again, a more stable platform... He'll still have to deal with finding grooves in the road, but hey, it's a tradeoff I guess?
