Started the parts collection to build some fabricated 9s for the LJ. Where I am hung up is do I go with a factory-style super duty inner c and knuckle combo or the fabricated inner/outer knuckle combo? Full Hydro or Hydro assist? Some street driving but not too much. Occasional drive to work...

I have a brand new still in the box Artec JK2TJ Dana 44 truss kit with C-gussets. Willing to ship, shipping not included.

Disregard, I got my answers. Tried to delete the post but couldn't

So I am gathering parts for my 3-link front, triangulated 4-link rear. I have Genright frame brackets, Johnny Joints, and rear shock towers to outboard the shocks as well. My question is for the ones that have done this before do you start your build at full compression or ride height? I know...

If I don't plan to drive on the street much are there other reasons to not go full hydro?

Is there really a need for 40s? I would really like some educated opinions on 37" vs 40" tires. I plan to take my jeep all over the US. I always seem to get caught up in keeping up with the Jones. My original build plan for the LJ was 66-69" wide axles, 37s, 4" rear stretch and then I bought...

Is it possible? Are the 05-06 LJ computers as tunable as the LS computers?

I have a 2005 LJ with an auto trans. When I'm wheeling after a while of running the gauge will start to drop to zero pressure and fluctuate from zero to mid-level on the dummy gauge and either settle on no pressure or go back to the good mark. I don't get any engine knocking or running any...

I have a set of Dana 30/44 Teraflex Balljoints for a TJ/XJ/YJ. They are brand new never installed

I have an old school Ford f250 Dana 44 up front 9" rear and I'm wondering if it's worth throwing money at the 44 or going with a 60. Jeep gets wheeled regularly and soon all over the country, not just here in TX. I've got about as much money in these axles as a gear/locker swap would have cost...

I am slowly getting the extra funds to get started on the flat belly project. I already have the 1" MML and now I am looking at a body lift as the next step in the project. I am torn between just using pucks or getting new body mounts like the boatsided Artec version that raises the mount...

So I am beginning the outboard shock and spring mount relocation on Monday. I have a couple of questions before I start 1. I have a shock picked out that has 12.880" of travel, 32.290" extended and 19.410 collapsed. Rancho RS999012. Do I build the mounts to the shock or figure out my mounting...

So I am wanting to knock out 2 things at 1 time and would like to see if it's possible. 1st I want to fix is my rear spring mount misalignment from axle to frame. I'm simply going to remove the factory bracket and relocate it to where it is needed. I want to outboard my shocks. The issue I...

I am building my steering for the new axle. I have built the tierod and I can hit the steering stops on each side without a draglink attached. I mocked up the drag link and now I am about 1/4" from hitting either steering stop. I am using a Barnes UTK 1-ton tie rod kit. Nothing was hitting as...

So before I found this forum and a couple others that have some really smart people on it, I thought bigger and more $$$ had to mean better. From the get-go, I was like V8, 1-tons, and 40s with a stretch is the best thing for my LJ. Now I'm questioning everything but the V8. My plan was to...

2005 4.0/42RLE Dana 30/44 with spartan and trac-loc, 3.5" Metalcloak Game Changer w/RS9000 shocks, 241or Rock-Trac T-case, Metal Cloak rocker guards and corner guards, 35" GY MTRs, Bestop Trektop NX, and Bearcat 980 Cb. I have a 79 F250 HP44 w/ 4.88s, Grizzly Locker, Chromoly axles, and warn...

We had a great little going away/celebration with our Jeep club.

I've been on here for a few months but haven't really posted a lot. As my LJ sits right now it still has the dana 30 front w/spartan, dana 44 limited slip, 4.0/42RLE trans, 241or Rock Trac TC, Metal Cloak 3.5" Game Changer with Rancho RS9000 shocks. Current plans are to finish my 79 F250...

I am trying to do all of my research prior to me buying parts to get some long travel shocks installed on my 05 LJ front and rear. For the time being, I am running Rancho RS9000 adjustable for the stock mounting locations. I am in the process of installing a 79 F250 HP44 and 9" rear combo at...

Ok I have a chance to get either a HP44 Front/9" Rear combo with 4.88s, Yukon grizzly front 4340 axles, detroit rear or a set of Stock TJ/LJ Rubicon 44 axles. With the HP44/9 I'm at the gear ratio I was going to do anyway and the only thing missing is hubs. I am capable of welding in the trusses...
