The value of anything is only what people are willing to pay for it. ;)

Its funny to think of it as a mild build with what its capable of without lockers! Wranglers are more capable than people realize.

My TJ has to walk in both worlds, the pavement and the dirt. I took it up through Baldy and Eagle rock as it sits now and it it did great. Hard loose rocky hill climbs and some small boulders. So as long as I can tame the wheel shimmy after hitting bumps on road at speed, I will be very happy.

I guess this is why I selected the RC in the first place. My Jeep isnt a crawler, so as long as the RC is something above stock and adjustable that will suffice.

I guess I can spend $50 for that over the Rough Country.

I'm not a mechanic and basic bolt/unbolt is all I can (or feel safe doing to my daily) do safely without opening a can of worms I would have to take it to a shop to fix in the end anyway. So given that data, and the fact that I already wish to change these parts anyway, that is where I'm...

15 years and 81k miles, all looks factory. This is the start of my life with this vehicle so why not mildly upgrade a few pieces while getting rid of 15 year old rubber in the steering system? I will replace the three bars that cross the axle with new, better pieces while making the track bar an...

I hope its not the ball joints. Thats a headache DIY I'm just not doing. I have no desire to take the axles out and hope that I get that all put back together properly...

As I've said, the tires are fine, they were fine before the DW and nothing has changed but me unbolting the track bar and putting the original TB back in. Thinking about it more, I'm almost certain its something to do with bad bushings or alignment.

I have it, I need to fix it. Through new parts (its 15 years old) and through adjustable parts (geometry may be shot) alignments ect what have you, I just need to know how to go about doing it. As I've said before, this is my DD for 5 years while I pay for it, I can not have it useless over...

IDK right now. Literally the only change from no DW to DW is that I took apart some steering components and added the spacers to level the Jeep after a winch install. Put it together, torque'd it and now it DW. All I can figure is that some old bushing finally gave up after being taken out.

I would be a total idiot if I came to the forum for help without a proper re torque of all the nuts and bolts I took out. If it helps at all, if I ride the break over the DW initiating bumps it mitigates the effect almost entirely in every case. This leads me to believe its not catastrophic and...

31/10.5 , 29psi dont know but it was totally fine before I added the 1 1/3 spacers to the front springs and unbolted a bunch of the front suspension.

I need to change things until I can safely drive down a 65mph highway, hit a bump or expansion joint, and it no longer DW. Piece by piece until it stops, thats how far I need to go.

I'm gonna say that I have at least 2.5 inches of lift. The front and rear springs, shocks and the the rear track bar relocation bracket are changed. There is a one and 1/3 inch spacer on top of the front springs. JKS swaybar disconnects. top it off. Everything else is factory. I think I should...

AAR: Death wobble on road, performs BEAUTIFULLY off road. I think the old ball joints arent happy I unbolted them. So when I get to Maine its gonna be a town rig for awhile until I buy some upgraded steering components and new ball joints. I think that will kick the DW to the curb. On a side...

Personally my opinion is TJ > than JK. Its not, but I just cant get behind the JK, it was made in a junky era for Chrysler. If your gonna go new, wait for the JL prices to come down. Its modern and still a solid axle Jeep. Thats only MY opinion and to someone is wrong. P.S. I had a JL and it was...

I measured from the same groove on the front and rear tires, the rear is 8 exactly and the front is just a little over 8, so essentially level.

And I had to add an inch and 3/4 spacer on top of the taller OME springs to get it to sit level with the winch. I'm pleased with the result over all for sure.

Lift done. 7 hours over two days, busted knuckles, hurt feelings, but triumph in the end. She sits pretty too!
