I’ll piece together a budget to accomplish the best articulation ( range of motion ) I can get from my 97 TJ. I’d like to do it one step at a time, but don’t know if that’s possible. I’m gonna do most of the work myself. Along with y’all’s advice. Thinking I should do the longer arm first .?

Wanting to get the most I can from My suspension. Thinking about a mid arm or long arm over my short arm suspension. Also When should I outboard my shocks ? Should I go with 2.0 shocks or coil overs ? It’s a lot to think about. How have y’all put this puzzle together ?

A couple years ago I did move the spring mount on the rear so the springs were straight. I’ll be sure to let ya know if the new springs helps.

Just want to thank all of you for your comments and help! Hanging out the rear shocks solved sooo many things ! I’m going to adjust my shock mounts so they are perfectly inline with the natural shock angle soon and replacing rear springs to adjust the lean on my jeep. Would love to outboard...

Well I’m going to get a new 4” rear right spring or a 1” spacer. To level out my jeep, which will give me closer to 50/50 ratio on my new shocks.

I supposedly have a 4 inch suspension lift. And I also have a 1 inch body lift because I did a belly up. For some reason, the passenger side of my Jeep is almost an inch lower than the driver side of my Jeep. So I have some other issues somewhere that I’m going to have to find.

If I add a spring spacer to the rear, that would make my jeep set high in the rear right ? Because it sets level right now

Well, the fox shocked that I bought shows there for 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 “ lift. are you referring to a spring spacer

Hey, how can I tell that my springs are for a 4” lift ? They have been on there since I’ve had the jeep. I’m assuming they are Rough country since that was the brand of the shocks that were on it when I bought it. Here’s a couple pictures I took some years back. I’m having a hard time getting...

Hey when your measuring for 50/50 shock travel do I measure from the bottom of the shock to the center of the eyelet OR only the length of the rod itself. ??

Absolutely 👍

Yeah, when I mounted the top of the shock and then push the eyelet to where it would not bind up to the axle it was more than an inch off. 🤦 so frustrating

Amen to that !!!

All I have is a 4” grinder and some cutoff discs and flapper grinder discs . I’m a there a better way to cut the welds?? Oh and I mig weld a little. Should I get someone to stick weld it ?

Thanks ! Was hoping that was the right answer.

Well I always wanted to tryout Fox so I bought 2 for the rear. I went out to swap them out and things didn’t go so well. About 5 years ago I swapped out the Dana 35 for a Ford 8.8. Come to find out this morning the guy that welded my brackets on didn’t weld the shock brackets on in the...

Morning y’all , It’s time to replace shocks. Been running Rancho for 9 years now. Choices are 1. Rancho RS5000X 2. Rough Country M1 3. Fox 2.0. I drive this Jeep TJ on and off road. So times it’s an every day driver to work but only 14 miles round trip. 4” suspension lift 35” tires...

Hey y’all , my steering box is leaking. Should I have the inner and outer seals replaced or is there a better option I should try ? Thanks !!

Thanks for y’all’s you were serious weren’t you ? I looked them up. I’ll bet the new foam would make the ride a lot more comfortable !! And I need new upholstery on the driver side bad.

Well to those of y’all that are still following me on blower motor fix. With y’all’s help I figured it !! it is working better than it ever was. I found a bad connection between this plug. I scraped off and cleaned off the connection , plugged it in and it all started working. !!
