OME has a heavy rear spring with a rate of 260 lbs / in. Their front spring is only 140 lbs / in. However they only offer 2" of lift. Currie (RockJock) are 145/175 rear and 132/150 front - according to them. They are a 4" dual rate

It's the gears. They weren't set properly. SO we are going to do a full rebuild front and rear, mine as well do it all now since I'm going to re-gear anyway and the front end is getting sloppy as well. I'll be sticking with a standard open carrier for now (rear needs to be replaced) just due...

Lithium has a completely different charging profile than standard led acid or AGM. They also cannot accept a charge below certain temperatures with out potential explosions - at least not with the current tech. Even self heated batteries are insufficient for temps below 20F. It's why most of...

Well...yes because this is my daily vehicle so it has to work well - especially with winter on the way. I'm not necessarily trying to diagnose it for the shop, but wanting to make sure I'm not missing another obvious problem. Kinda like how the 42RLE is often misdiagnosed as being bad when...

Hahaha.... same. Well not doing vehicle recovery stuff though. I put in far too many hours after hours, especially when theres a fire. WFDSS is such a PITA program. I currently have the 33" KO2's. They are the worst tire I have ever owned and need to be replaced. Last year I realized...

Yeah I was thinking the same thing, but wanted to make sure I wasn't missing a well known issue somewhere else. Hopefully I can get it to the shop tomorrow without something bad happening, not a fan of it being on the interstate at 70 in the current condition. I am running 33's and the TJ has...

Trying to sort out a very nasty vibration/grinding happening lately for the last year or so. Last year I had a local shop service the TJ. They 'forgot' to put rear diff fluid back in. :mad::mad::mad:😞 10 miles down the interstate outside town, I came to a halt - and immediately knew what went...

That's awesome! I would have a hard time even driving that anywhere near salt.

Last few weekends I have been playing around with a storage solution. Using the TJ as a test dummy for now since it's the grocery getter and groceries are an hour away, so having a fridge/freezer is important. And using this as a test before getting the nice baltic birch for the LJ's system...

What paint did they use? When I had my OBS 7.3 I used Eastwood inhibitor paint - 2 nice coats. That was after scraping, sanding, converting, and prepping the very few spots that did have rust. It didnt last. A year later of being in the mag chloride / salt of MT the whole frame was rusting...

I dont think they make them anymore, if that means anything. They used to be an option I was looking at for a bolt on replacement but last time I checked with 3 or 4 vendors they weren't an option anymore. I'm sure somebody here has all the good info about them though.

I had this tune added to mine last month just before he had it put up on the website. I think they had to battle some legal things. I have not driven my LJ enough yet to know and really dont have any other 42RLE experience to benchmark against but I am very happy with how it performs, and the...

Nice measurement. Yeah that's exactly the conclusion I had come up with several years ago. At first look one might be a little nervous without having measured numbers. I never did such measurements but I did keep an eye out for odd wear or impact marks and never found any, thus just never...

Now thats something I had forgotten about to be honest - with the track bar and drag link needing to be in alignment. But now that I went back and read a few threads from years ago I'm reminded that I had to actually argue with the shop that installed my lift to NOT put in a drop pitman arm...

Oh looks like about 20 degrees, kinda hard to tell if the frame is relatively level or if it's slightly tilted the opposite direction of the front axle. But that just reinforces what I was saying earlier with the axle side track bar joint not showing any signs of over travel to be concerned...

This does not explain the reasoning why Chris said it is a 'bad idea'. Provide context if you want people to understand and learn. Simple statements dont help anybody. I will not stop talking. Thats not a very kind thing to say. What do you have against me Blaine? Maybe you dont...

Looks like you ran a double shear back in 2015 (https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/what-track-bar-has-the-best-clearance-on-a-wrangler-tj.340/#post-5251). But then sold it for a currie. Just curious what the problems are/were. Aside from what @tworley mentioned. So in other words, is a...

Why not? what's the problems with it? There seems to be several companies going that direction.

Yeah maybe in cities, I can see it happening sooner. I dont live in a city. Zero public transportation where I live. Closest buss option is in town 60 miles away. So many of these laws and policies are made revolving around cities when the vast majority of the US is very rural and urban...

Politics and the EPA are pushing the auto makers to meet increasingly strict emissions regulations, so they turn to turbos to try and meet regs while also appeasing to the public. A good question to ponder is how long until the gov decides it will force people to outlaw vehicles older than 10...
