So I still hate the ride:
2005 LJ with 35" tires and 4" skyjacker lift with bilstein 5100s. Lowered tire pressure, but still drives lie crap.
I want to love this rig. I want to feel safe with my wife driving it. I want to take my little girls (8 and 5) off road. I just don't trust the rig at the moment.
Spent a long time on the phone with Katie at Savvy yesterday. She's fabulous and gave me lots of ideas of where I ultimately need to go.
I will get the Currie/Savvy ultimate lift and also the correctlync steering.
So my questions.
Steering kit. Unsure if I should go with the currectlync version or the slightly cheaper savvy ultimate version?
Can I wait to do the SYE? I currently do not have one, but do have a tcase drop. No vibration that I know about, but that does not count for much. Also looks like the pinion angle is tilted up slightly.
Should I keep the bilstein shocks or replace with Rancho from Savvy?
Should I replace the steering stabilizer?
I have extended brake lines, but they are not braided steel. Should I replace?
How straightforward is a lift install/steering change?
Is there a forum discount? Fingers crossed here ;-)
And finally, how straightforward is a SYE install?
I'd like to get ordering soon. But pulling the trigger in ~5k worth of gear gives me pause, particularly when I am a jeep (and mechanic) noob....
It's a lot of Qs. My many thanks in advance.
