I understand the argument about the narrow practical window for spring rates on a TJ given coil bind and droop constraints, and I get why that leads many people to prioritize shocks. My intent wasn’t to argue theory, but to better understand where my current setup might be limiting usable travel...

Thanks a lot for taking the time to write such a detailed response — I really appreciate it. We’re definitely on the same page. I also don’t quite understand why spring rate tends to get dismissed so easily. In various project cars I’ve worked on over the years (from drift-oriented builds to...

I get your point, but obviously springs wouldn’t be changed at all if they played no role, everyone would throw a spacer in there. I’m not arguing theory — I’m describing symptoms that strongly suggest the suspension is working outside of its usable travel. That’s why I asked if anyone here has...

I get your point, but obviously springs wouldn’t be changed at all if they played no role, everyone would just throw spacers in. I’m not arguing theory. I’m describing symptoms that strongly suggest the suspension is operating outside of its usable travel. That’s why I asked if anyone here has...

Hello guys, thanks a lot for taking the time to reply — I really appreciate all the input. I’m asking very specific questions because I’m trying to avoid wasting time and money on trial and error. Some of you may have already been through a similar setup, so your real-world experience matters to...

Hey, thank you that’s what I am thinking about. Meanwhile I am just wandering if I can throw the spacers and have a better experience.

Hi everyone, I have a 2005 Wrangler TJ and I’m trying to sort out the suspension and ride quality before I start throwing money at it. Current setup: Front shocks: Rancho (older, not sure of the exact model) Rear shocks: Teraflex 9550 Coil spacers installed (front and rear) Stock control arms...

Your shifter tower though was ok? Or you changed it too?

That actually makes sense. But when I put it into reverse with a screwdriver directly (like in the video), it goes in smoothly and works fine — no grinding, no popping out, nothing weird. So it seems to function normally once it’s engaged, the problem is only getting the shifter to push it all...

Hello guys, I’m having an issue with my NSG370 (Wrangler TJ 2.4 Sport 2005). When I push the selector directly with a screwdriver through the tower, reverse goes in with a bit of force but without grinding. However, when I try with the shifter, it grinds badly and most of the time won’t go in...

Hello guys! Finally ended up going with what most of you recommended – 33x12.5R15 tires and 15x10 wheels with -40 offset. I just liked the look better with the wider stance. The Jeep definitely feels slower now, but the suspension actually works way better. Surprisingly, a lot of the weird...

Hahaha I am doing my best 😆 Nice to meet you guys! Jeeps and especially the older ones like Tj, Liberty kj etc are a super nice fit for someone who is living here.

So, you are new to jeeps too? Haha we absolutely speak that language, not many people can understand 🤣🤣 The pictures with the 35s was taken by the previous owner, he sold it without them. Oh nice thank you for the information. I am going to check it tomorrow and I will come back with an...

I think it is but if it’s not I will do it at some point. I drive it though with 35s and it was smooth, I didn’t felt any significant loss of power. Yours looks great! You are on 33x12,5 or 10,5? If you have any more pictures from behind or the front side would be great for me to visualise how...

Hello guys! First thing first I want to thank everyone in this forum, you guys made my first days of living with a Tj much easier haha. I recently bought a new to me Wrangler Tj 2005 2.4 with 6 gears manual. I am trying to figure out a lot of things (reverse kicking out, fuse 26 constantly...
