    Need help with suspension and lift parts

    Thanks guys, any suggestions on brands for control arms? In the event I end up just getting one set at a time what would be the best bang for the buck? Front upper? Front lower?

    Need help with suspension and lift parts

    No drop pitman arm on mine but I agree a set of shocks are probably needed although I feel like I have a caster issue as well. But I've read the Rancho RS5000 shocks are nice for the wranglers.

    Need help with suspension and lift parts

    Makes sense! I was just thinking Makes sense and I definitely don't want to go the cheapest route I was just hoping that say maybe an adjustable front lower set might get me the biggest relief until I could buy the rest but also due to inexperience wasn't sure how much the rears were needed.

    Need help with suspension and lift parts

    Hello everyone! I'm looking into trying to get my fairly new to me TJ to ride better. It currently has a Rough Country 4" lift on it and it appears that all the lift consisted of was four new springs and one pair of front RC NS shocks. I'm learning that all it really did was get the Jeep...

    Thank you, that was one of my concerns.

    What do you think of those? Do you have a pic of the underside? Those were the ones I was looking at until I saw the hood scoop so now it's between the Rugged Ridge and possibly a hood scoop but I do like the price of the rugged ridge. Some reviews say they don't sit flat on the corners...

    I'd say it has to do some good with all those holes. It's hard to see for sure but I assume the scoop itself is open and the heat is unrestricted to rise up through the holes and out. I am new to Jeeps so I thought mine just needed a tune up but it didnt make sense it only started running...

    That’s interesting and seems like rain and water would be no issue either. Where can I find it? Does it still do a good job of letting the heat come up and out? My only issue is slow off-road trail rides.

    Do you have seat risers or use anything that raises the seat?

    Transmission skid plate nuts and bolts

    I found the source of the really annoying rattle while offroading, my transmission skid plate (04 automatic) has two loose bolts (to the frame) and two missing nuts where it connects to the larger skid plate. I can tighten the bolts to the frame but as far as the transmission skid to main...

    Bestop under seat storage

    From what I've read the seat risers might be an added bonus, I just didn't want to spend extra money to have the box.

    Bestop under seat storage

    So just adding washers between the front box bracket and seat bracket was enough for yours?

    Good point. I wouldn't mind finding some GC vents for that reason.

    Show me your hood vents

    I'm curious about it sitting still out in the parking lot and the rain pouring onto the hood and just running into the open louvers. As I'm typing this it's pouring outside.

    Bestop under seat storage

    Ya it looked like the inside front bolt will be a pain but I didn't get that far with mine. I have read that the Tuffy seems to go in just fine but I now have scratches on my bestop where the release arms were hitting it so not sure I can return it.
