But now I can't help feel that I would be missing on so much without an air compressor. Has anyone...

    Driveline Vibes With RC Lift Kit

    New member here... Trying to figure out how to resolve some driveline vibes on my TJ. It came with a lift, which appears to be the 4in RC lift kit. Has the TC drop from the kit, appears to also have the lower control arm from the kit, and also has a body lift. No MML. When I get it up to highway...
