    Adjustable control arm help

    Just recently finished 3” ome/rs5000 lift. Wound up having to do a MML and temporarily did a washer tranny drop as the MML wasn’t enough. The vibes are pretty much gone now but I want to take the tranny drop out and put in a pair of adjustable control arms. I am also wanting a pair for the front...

    Is it okay to install a MML without a body lift?

    I was wondering if it’s ok to install a MML without a BL? Just finished a 21/2” OME/Rs5000 lift but I now have Vibration in the driveline. I know the best solution is a SYE and adjustable track bars and control arms but the budget just doesn’t allow it at the moment. My plan is to put in a MML...

    Will this work? Wheel offset question

    Both sets of rims have a 5.5 backspace but one is a 15x7 with a +38 offset and the others are 15x8 with a +25 offset so there should only be 3mm difference between the 2 if I’m figuring this correctly. Should be good to go I think.

    Will this work? Wheel offset question

    I want to run a set of rims from a Golden Eagle on my Sport. They have a 5.5 offset versus a 5 for the factory Ones I have now. Running 31x10.5 tires and a 2” ome lift. Am I going to have a rub issue?

    Dash idiot lights not working

    Hey all. About 50% of my dash lights don't work both during the pre start check and during normal running conditions. Thinks like high beam, 4WD,etc. I've checked bulbs and swapped with known working ones from different positions and also checked all fuses I thought may be related. Anyone ever...

    A recipe for an affordable but quality 2.5" lift

    Something I havnt seen mentioned here is sway bar links. I’m assuming the stock ones work fine with the 2” lifts? I’m going with ome springs and Rancho 5000x. Going to try and go without a BL and MML and see what happens. Also not much mentioned about front track bar brackets only the rears...

    Flushing out Frame

    So I am wanting to flush out all the rust and dirt from the inside of my frame rails and was wondering if anyone has had any success with this. My plan is to flush out the insides and I’m going to pour a bunch of rust converter inside and drive around to spread it out and finally drill a few...

    A recipe for an affordable but quality 2.5" lift

    Definitely the cheapest set of springs out there. But that scares me as the old saying goes you get what you pay for.....sometimes.

    A recipe for an affordable but quality 2.5" lift

    Yes I believe they do. However most thing I’ve read about lifts say to try and avoid RC and SkyJacker. Springs alone may be ok. Perhaps someone with experience with them and others will chime in.

    A recipe for an affordable but quality 2.5" lift

    It looks like pro comp has discontinued these springs. There’s a few fronts around I believe but doesn’t appear to be any rears at least in Canada. I’m thinking of substituting OME instead because they seem to be the most readily available in 2”. Although I don’t like the added costs.

    Do I really need a transfer case drop kit for a 4" lift?

    Just thinking out loud here, and I’m new to jeeps so don’t flame me too badly, I’m just trying to do some research for getting a lift. So I was thinking rather than dropping the back of the transfer case why don’t you raise the front of the engine? It will produce the same result although...
