Where drivability in a TJ is concerned, regearing for the transmission and tire size in order to gain rpms is also the very same foundational platform to get the most out of any added horsepower. Attempting to overpower an undergeared vehicle is leaving performance on the table when the systems...

You can dismiss his suggestion. Anyone who argues against 3k rpm at 75mph has never had a TJ that can begin to get out of it's own way. The difficultly with the 42rle is getting that in the first place.

Somewhere around here is about right... 42rle/31”/5.13=2877rpm @ 75mph 42rle/31”/5.38=3018rpm @ 75mph

This is a case of if that is what you are going to do, then you did a pretty good job at it.

Specialized quality tools like the Rotabroach also provide a level of precision and craftsmanship that can make a meaningful difference in how good the final product is.

Once you get more familiar and comfortable with the big brakes you should discover a new ability to modulate and control the brakes in ways you couldn't before. On mine going 70+ mph, I can quickly bring the tires into light squeal at the very edge of losing traction and hold that down to a slow...

Body roll side to side can be affected by the mounting width. Rising and sinking fore and aft can be affected by the "wheelbase" length of the shocks.

What would you expect the impact in ride quality to be by moving the lower mounts in front of the axle?

The way the question is being asked suggests that the frame arches have not been pushed back 6-8" and/or the gas tank is still in the factory location. The shocks and mounts simply go where they can fit into the new axle position. However, you then get to figure out how to keep the axle from...

It's an aluminum (allegedly) direct copy of the generic steel Jeep bumper. Hopefully by now a good number of people around here have a grasp of why that is not good design for the material.

Only Jerry highly recommended the Derale cooler and did so frequently. And he never had a temp sensor and he never knew if he needed a cooler.

Stop it. That is a rock crawling bumper. 🤣

The proletariat class at ACC seized the means of production away from the oppresive ruling bourgeoisie and now evenly share the wealth amongst themselves. I'm sure that is what he means.

Worst case scenario is that the split spacer squishes out and the ride height at that corner lowers the amount of the missing spacer. A good spring spacer should not split.

Bolt it all together and cycle the suspension without springs using a floor jack. Welding does not have to occur immediately. If there is a problem, identify it and figure out how to address it.

I was perplexed by your unelaborated statement that the angled bracket didn't work, followed by the reasoning. You created this trail and I followed you down it.

I explained why the angled relocation bracket does not need to point up at any specific angle at ride height when used with a track bar that does not care within reason about misalignment. It only needs to tip the track bar forward enough to not be in the way of things at full shock compression...

Do you disagree with my explanation of how things work? Feel free to correct.
