    Thank you for the recommendation to install Rancho shocks

    At the end of the day it's still a short wheel base lifted jeep so I doesn't ride like a car, But, the big difference is when you hit an expansion joint or break in the road it doesn't rattle your teeth out now! LOL! Now I can approach a speed bump in the city slow down and it rolls over it...

    Thank you for the recommendation to install Rancho shocks

    SSTJ, Yes, this forum is great! I'm mostly a lurker and learner, but if I have something of value to share down the road I will post it in hopes it will help others. Not sure if you asked me about the wheels before or not, but I have about 3 people who already asked me about this many months...

    Thank you for the recommendation to install Rancho shocks

    I just wanted to thank all of you for recommending to install Rancho Shocks!!! Wow, what a difference! I kept my current RC Springs at 2.5inch but swapped out the shocks for Rancho's - Fantastic upgrade! Put a 3/4 inch spacer in the front due to the bumper and winch (another great...

    2.5" springs but move to larger wheels & tires (What is the impact on need for SYE & driveshaft?)

    I have another post called Will a 255 75R 17 mud terrain on a Rubicon wheel fit my stock TJ spare tire rack? If you wouldn't mind going in there I just posted my new Avatar Picture along with a pic of a different Wrangler X with the Wheels and Tires I want to install - They are 255 75R 17 Thanks

    2004 TJ starts but slowly dies

    I'm no expert, but I would check your ground cables to make sure that they are not only tight but not cracked. The reason I say this is years ago I was riding my motorcycle across the middle of PA in farm country and my bike sputtered a bit and acted as if I ran out of gas. When I checked the...

    Will a 255 75R 17 mud terrain on a Rubicon wheel fit my stock TJ spare tire rack?

    The Blue is my current ride with 16inch and the other is just an image I found showing the 17" Rubicon's I would like to have

    2.5" springs but move to larger wheels & tires (What is the impact on need for SYE & driveshaft?)

    I currently have zero vibrations and don't really want to put the money into the SYE and Cardan driveshaft right now. If I keep my current 2.5" Springs but move to larger wheels & tires - What is the impact on need for SYE and driveshaft? Is there a positive , negative or neutral impact by...

    Will a 255 75R 17 mud terrain on a Rubicon wheel fit my stock TJ spare tire rack?

    Thanks for all the replies, I really learned a lot about the wheel spacer (probably needing a body lift) or go to a relocation bracket instead - I will look into this - because even if I do the body lift later its all good. If someone was interested in my 16 inch rims - if I find the right 17...
