I made a post over in the “What did you do to your LJ today?” about this, but I thought I might get broader coverage here.
Like most of you, I am upgrading my Jeep to be more capable offroad. And like most of you, I don’t have a boatload of cash to throw at it and get it all done at once, so I’ve been doing it in stages as funds allow.
My 2006 LJ has a 4” SL, 1” MML, and a 1” BL. With this combination, I had no vibes with the stock driveshaft. Over the weekend, I installed an Undercover Fab Extra Clearance TC skid, along with their Engine skid. Hoping to buy some time before needing to buy adjustable control arms, I installed the TC skid with a 1-1/2” spacer kit.
This combination ended up raising the output of the TC by ½” over the stock TC. The axle has a 2-1/2° difference from the TC. The front of the axle needs to come down. I am getting vibes in the 50-55mph range. It seems to smooth out at 60 and over.
The gist of all of this is, can I use adjustable control arms to correct the angles with the stock single carden driveshaft?
