Hey Guys, just wanted to give you an update on the progress. Worked on the car yesterday all day with my father-in-law. He’s very experienced with cars and works on all of his cars by himself, so I’m a little lucky to have had that help. What we finished yesterday: 1. Installed H&R springs and...

I went ahead and purchased the Moog track bar. Did it come with all the necessary hardware for you to install?

That one looks good - but I'm not sure if I'm gonna get 1.5"'s of lift (or if it even matters). I did see this rough country one, which is for 0-3.5 inches of lift. Let me know what you think.. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OPEUP4I/?tag=wranglerorg-20 Yeah I think I’m gonna go with the Moog...

Also - the other question I had was that with my H&R springs.. will it throw off my alighnment of my track bar if it's not an adjustable track bar? I know 1-1/5"'s may not seem like a lot but it's something I want to consider as well. I'm glad to hear that. Did you replace the back at all? If...

parts came in today. Waiting for a few more things then excited to start installing these guys!

Thanks will definitely give that a try. I know when we turn the steering wheel lately there is a sound almost like a creaking/squeak.. so I assume something may be worn out with the steering or suspension underneath

Anyone think its a good idea for me to replace the front track bar before I get the tires mounted/balanced and alignment done? I found this Moog Track bar on amazon for fairly cheap https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000C5403G/?tag=wranglerorg-20 Our Jeep tends to shake when reaching 65-70 on the...

Thanks - is it something I should be concerned about?

Wow, looks really nice. I hope my Jeep looks as good as that when its done. I got the KO2 tires (31x10.5R15), and will have the same shocks and springs as you. Did you install the shocks and springs yourself? If yes, how long did it take you, one day?

Got ya. Thats exactly what the mechanic told me today. He also said I will need new Dana carriers for both since it was a 3.07. He also mentioned something about the back carrier and if it has a 'posse' or 'passive'.. not exactly sure what this meant but he said its not a big deal if I don't go...

Also - I assume I have the Dana 30 front and Dana 35 back for my 3.07.. is this right? When I regear to 4.10.. what will be my new setup. Dana 30/Dana 44? The shop I spoke to said they use the 'Yukon' brand when regearing. Everywhere I search online I'm not seeing Yukon part options for the 98 tj...

I'm not too worried about gas mileage. Even if that is the case, this is not a daily driver. It's more of a weekend and summer car. We keep it garaged in the winter here in Northeast Ohio to preserve it as much as possible. Plus - gas prices aren't too bad right now :)
