Good evening,
Today while reading Kevin’s thread on adj control arms I had an “oh shit” moment. Now I don’t have a tt but I did stumble my way through installing Currie’s lift package about 18m ago. Before that project I had never turned a wrench in my life but had some family help with the project. I managed to fumble through an SYE install and set the rear driveshaft angle. Back to my epiphany.... I realized I never cycled my suspension, checked bump, or bump alignment, and I certainly didn’t follow the well written how to on aligning axles and setting CA lengths. https://wranglertjforum.com/threads...-control-arms-on-a-jeep-wrangler-tj-lj.17062/ I should mention I had the Jeep aligned after all was “complete”. I have some minor vibes between 30-45mph the alignment shop said they couldn’t fix, sound familiar???
My questions to the community are, what am I about to get myself into? I have time over the holidays and would like to know my Jeep is done right. Are there other how to guides I should study before jumping into this? Am on the right track with my goals below? Where should I start? I’d like this thread to my go to for support.
My goals are:
1. Set bump to protect shocks
2. Set bumps for tire and fenders and any other clearance issues
3. Center axles and redo / check control arms
4. Get rid of vibes
