    TJ ride quality issue – spacers, mixed shocks, and minimum lift for 33s

    To the OP, before you go pulling the coil spacers you need to cut the boots off the shocks and see how much shock shaft is exposed at ride height. If there is only an inch or 2 exposed, pulling the coil spacers will just make it worse, you would have zero uptravel. That is really the first...

    Rear Camber and Toe Adjustment

    Ignore the toe and camber for the rear as they are non adjustable. It’s the thrust angle you want to adjust, which will correct your toe numbers as best as they can be.

    Bushwacker flat fenders and 35's

    That is so many words to say you don’t have a clue what uptravel is.

    Bushwacker flat fenders and 35's

    7” of travel would be impossible unless you did some crazy ass suspension work! 6” is about the max, which is what I have and took a shit ton of work to get there. Nothing is bolt on at that point. Cute fenders tho’. Forums are to share knowledge and there is a knowledgeable group here. So...

    Spring Suggestions

    A quick google show a 5.9 around 550lbs and a 4.0 at 510 pounds…. So if that is accurate I don’t think I would sweat 40lbs much. Springs won’t do anything for ride quality. Focus on shocks for that. A Jeep can handle really well if the time is put into the suspension, problem is most aren’t...

    New Lift, Bad Ride

    Hard to tell from the pics, but since the ranchos are can down, on the rear they can interfere with the lower spring perch in the axle. If that is the case it could put force on the shock it shouldn’t be seeing and put it into a bind. It’s odd that the rubber boots both have slid down at the...

    Cleaning Up Frame Above Skid Plate

    How every you chose to clean it up, then a washer in-between is a good idea as it allows water/moisture to escape and not be trapped. Or I also take some used motor oil and coat that area between the frame and skid. I take my skid on an off a few times a year and since I’ve been doing this I...

    Suspension for highway driving

    Also the Jeep came in 4 cylinder motors with a soft top at one end, a fully loaded rubicon with hard top and doors on the other. So even in factory spec there is decent change of weight. Factor in mods and there can be a pretty big variation or weight. I mean my rear 4” curries springs will...

    Mystery Squeak

    You don’t even mention where the noise is coming from, front/rear or driver/passenger side. I mean if it’s mystery to you, it totally a mystery for me a few hundred miles away.

    Double Clutch Into First Gear?

    That’s a blanket statement that’s not always true… I start off in second, and I ring it out, I shift always around 3500, normal cruising speed I’m at 3000 rpm’s…. Depends on your gears

    Inset taillights

    Agreed, those are by far the sexiest stock tail lights I’ve seen! The Jeep is pretty sweet too!

    If you can install injectors, and you installed spark plugs…, you can for sure do a compression test yourself….

    Front Shock Tower Extension Questions

    I have the poly towers with 12” shocks, the point of hard contact for me was the drivers axle coil bucket. With that much uptravel the trackbar swings the axle to the passenger side causing the interference with the DS coil bucket. The beauty of using the poly towers is you get to set the...

    Beadlock question

    How low are you airing down now? I typically air my STT’s down to 8psi. I have yet to lose a bead. The possibility of losing a bead is always there, but I see a lot of people thinking air downed is 20psi….
