Is it necessary to loosen and retorque control arms after doing a lift? How many members did or did not follow this procedure and what was the result? This is more of a question for smaller lifts with stock style fixed length with rubber bushings. As the larger lifts usually have adjustable...

So the soft top of my TJ needs to be replaced, and I'm in a bit of a pickle. My TJ is in pretty rough shape, it's basically a rust bucket. I'm not trying to sink anymore money in it, as I already have spent a lot on it and the problems are still not resolved. Calling it a parts jeep would be...

So I'm having some difficulties here with the extended lines I'm using. I had both driver and passenger lines orientated the same way to copy the stock set up. Essentially the beginning portion of the hard line by the caliper is kinked upwards slightly, with the flex line facing towards the back...

I'm going from unknown stock length links in the rear to the JKS adjustable 2942, the ones that you cut to length needed. It uses the original hardware. The link I have has the original flag nut and bolt for frame. However for the axle mounting bolt it won't work because the shank size is much...

Okay so this is a shot in the dark but I thought I'd try. I have this metallic clanking/clinking sound. It's a very hollow metallic sound that is a high pitched clanking/ticking that will increase in speed or decrease, then disappear (possibly due to road/wind noise). It's very prominent in...

Hey everybody, I may be over thinking this a little but I thought I would ask. I was getting ready to install my adjustable rear JKS track bar with tires on the ground shocks and springs in when I noticed my ride height was a quarter of an inch higher in the rear with gas tank and skid removed...

So, some of you may have seen my thread about the rear relocation bracket. Essentially, I wanted to reuse the bracket but unfortunately, the PO had drilled the holes out with a very unsteady hand not keeping it straight. This resulted in the top hole being two times the bolt diameter and with...

The PO added a trackbar relocation bracket but didn't even bother to keep the drill straight. The hole on top is way larger than the bolt diameter used, and there is no more than 1/8th inch of metal left. Is this a concern? This was a 2 inch lift, I may go to 2 and 3/8ths. Should I just ditch...

Well I was wondering if anyone has experienced this before and whether I'm just plain doing something wrong. It took me about 5 seconds to get the rear of my LJ on stands, wheels and fender liners off, all gas lines and carriage bolt nuts off, sway bar, track bar and lower shock bolts. Then...

Does anyone know what the little metal sleeve that comes with the stabilizer is for? It doesn't seem to fit anywhere on the Rancho and looks like there's no use for it.

So I disconnected my front DS to get more droop when installing springs and when I tried to reinstall the front DS again sure enough I dropped a cap on the ground and 4 needles came out. I put the 4 back in but it looked like there was a gap left about maybe half the size of a needle. So I...

Who has used this method for bumpstop on front spring perch? Is it reliable, does it make a difference if the vehicle will not be used offroad?

I am currently in the process of cycling for Rancho RS5000x RS55239, 2-3 inch lift shocks, in conjunction with Currie TJS bar and 32s. As I wanted to test the fitment before drilling, I have the axle side in with the factory bolt and flag nut, and I have the frame side ziptied in. I am...

I have a question concerning extending the bump stops up front. We know that adding bump stop to the bottom at the front spring perch is the best way to go as the jounces have that habit of hitting the spring coils at full droop I am in the process of doing a 3 inch lift on the front, my Jeep...

My LJ had a very small lean to front driver side, about a quarter of an inch prior to starting work on it, no lean in rear. Then I disconnected sway bar links and track bar and now my jeep has a very obvious lean to the driver side of about 2 inches, both front and rear? Why would this occur...

JKS OGS 126 versus the Rockjock CE-9120TJS, how is the fitment for 3 inches lift on a Dana 44 front end with stock diff cover? The Currie is obviously the better bar but do you think I could get away with the JKS considering the price difference? Currie says it is intended for 2 inches minimum...

I need new tires and realized that the Rubicon speedo can't be calibrated with a new gear tooth. I am aware of yellowbox and speedohealer. That being said I have read conflicting posts on here, some say 245 is most accurate to speedo, others say 265 or a 33. Anyone have first hand experience...

I am changing the opda on my 2006 TJ. I noticed the upperslide on the opda has some play in it, does that make any difference? Do I just make sure the pin can go through or should the pin be in the middle of the zone of play on the top slide?

Can I drive with a broken 02 sensor bank 1 sensor 1? I know it can start right up but will it stall randomly or something going down the road? This is the backstory if anyone is interested.... I stripped my 02 sensor bank 1 sensor 1 on my 06'. It is probably the hardest to reach out of all 4...

I am doing a little survey. How many folks here calibrate their torque wrenches and how often? I have a Pittsburgh 150 ft 1/2 inch and a Duralast 3/8ths drive. And also I have a 1/2 inch drive Pittsburgh that I accidentally dropped really hard on the ground and now it's my beater/ removal only...
