Congrats! Welcome, a lot of good guys and info here!

When I replaced the full suspension and lift, I completely redone the steering linkage, tie rods, drag link, and ball joints at same time with a PSC steering box, I’m fortunate enough to say, I never had any issues.

Most everyone I have seen recommend Black Magic, I'm still considering, but also currently run 35's on my TJ, back a few months ago had already put a new Bosch upgraded Rotors and Pads.....have really been solid (I'm not a hard braker), and dont do serious rock crawling, light rock/trail riding.

Having the lift in mine has been a big plus!

I actually installed a 4 channel Sound Stream Amp (purchased thru Crutchfield) along with new Kicker 5 1/4" upgrades in dash (with bracket), and 6/5" Soundstreams in the Soundbar and a custom sub box I built for rear with two-8" Soundstream Subs and topped it off with an Alpine Bluetooth head...

The poly fill makes a difference for more softer rounded bass. With our Alpine head unit, we average around 3-4 in volume control with top on, 7-8 with it off, and it’s pretty loud, no distortion, great bass balance. The two 8” subs turned face down to the body, really bring the bass balanced...

I was running 33s for a year with 4.10s and recently went to 35s and love it, we primarily do trails, light wheelin, no crazy slamming rock climbing and handles well. Still running Dana 30/Dana 35, with new ball joints on the D30s and new brakes all around. BUT, have a Dana 44 in shop that putting together...

I haven’t seen where any guys have had the significant angles before, especially on al LJ, but as mentioned earlier your pinion angle appears way to high. I would seariously look at that first. Slight adjustments on the pinion angle, where it’s more parallel with the driveshaft, can make a world...

Nice write up! Given the fact my wife and I like the tunes and our 80s music freaks, we made sure to install a good sound system so when your topless you can let it all play out! We did the install ourself in our 97 TJ (along with all the mods), but we installed a full, new Sound bar, upgraded...

I have seen both 2dr and 4dr models, and up against the JKs. The exterior has a couple of body line details, and that’s about it, but not a big fan of the interior dashboard.

I'm in Cali, don't have on front at the moment, but preparing for day I will have to apply. I like the clamp-on idea, bracket that was made though, that was slick!

Currently running a 97 TJ, with 3spd Auto, with Dana 35/Dana 30 (but have a Dana 44 housing, working on), with 4.10s and 33's, works well, not crawling rocks or bouncing off them, just general trail and moderate wheel'in, no issues so far, but planning to go to 35's.
