I just wanted to say I miss this forum. I still have my LJ, but I purchased a JK last year and that is now my primary ride. So the LJ doesn't get much attention lately, and I don't spend much time here. But I will say that the JK side of the forum is a bit of a different mindset. There is a...

I was just over on the wranglerjlforum reading a thread where someone was all excited about some $2000 noise generator he installed on his 4xe to make it sound like a 392. He posted videos and it appears the system consist of some sort of exterior exhaust speaker system to make the noise. It...

Does anybody have some OME 60047 shocks they can measure for me? I recently ordered the 60047l because the specs indicate they are 15.43". When I opened the box and measured them, the compressed length is 15.75" plus the 3/4" bushings. This makes them way to long for me. So now I wonder how...

So I have a set of OME 60047L long travel front shocks on their way because I kept reading that they will work with 2" of bumpstop. Which I already have. However, tonight when I was double checking my current setup I ran into concerns about the long travel shocks. When I calculate...

My current shocks are in need of rebuilding or replacing. So I am looking into the Savvy Tuned Fox. My problem is that I currently need a 13.5" rear shock and the Savvy Fox are 14.5". So I am trying to figure out how to make them fit. Do they come with the bar pin in them? If so how hard is...

Can I drive highway speeds with my front driveshaft disconnected to locate the source of vibrations? I have a vibration in my Jeep at 75-80mph. It goes away when I put it into 4wd. So I am wondering if it might be front u-joints or something. So to trouble shoot which axle/driveshaft might...

I have a 2005 LJ Rubicon with a 6 speed manual transmission. Last summer I installed adjustable control arms, and set them at the same length as my factory control arms were. Earlier this summer I swapped out my 2" springs for some 3" JKS coils. I hadn't noticed any vibes until this week...

So just how crazy am I for running a progressive Rancho shock up front and a digressive Bilstein in the rear? Years ago, I installed my lift with Rancho 9000XL adjustable shocks on both ends. I liked the Ranchos well enough in the front, but the Ranchos could never seem to control the rebound...

In my willingness to 'take one for the team', I purchased a track bar that was not on the approved list for 2" lift. (I won't state the brand name at this time because their tech department is currently working with me.) I took the chance on this track bar because it was being sold as fitting...

So I installed some Synergy JK DDB control arm bushings in my TJ because they don't make any for the TJ. So now I need to find a bigger bolt to fill the the bigger hole in the JK bushing. The stock TJ bolt is M10x1.50x75.00. The JK uses a M12x1.5x80 flange bolt for upper control arm. So a...

So I found out last night that my wife backed into my Rubihara last week. She bent the rear quarter panel a little and crushed the rear fender flare. If I'm lucky, I will be able to have paintless dent guy repair the quarter panel. Maybe a heat gun can melt the flare back into share. But...

Can I use the Synergy JK bushings on the front upper control arm axle mounts? In the past a tech at Synergy said the only difference was the size of the through bolt. Today when I called, a tech said the TJ uses a 'step style bushing' in that location and the JK bushing was not a step style...

With the release of the new Rancho 5000x shocks, we are seeing a lot of people recommending that shock for every setup. I put forth my opinion in another thread that you will have a better setup if you match the Rancho shocks to the Rancho springs or at least a spring that has a similar spring...

I know someone runs these. I just don't remember which thread or forum they were in. So please chime in. I know the Rancho D2 bushing is very similar to the Synergy DDB. But is it the same? I was previously looking at Synergy arms and have a lot of respect for the company and the quality of...

As you may know from comments i have made in other threads, I am looking at control arms and I am really torn between a lift with Johnny Joints vs DDB bushings. But for the sake of this discussion, lets talk only about Johnny Joints versus other knock off flex joints. What makes a Johnny Joint...

My plan was to get some Nth Degree springs. But it seems they are no longer answering the phone or shipping parts. So now I don't know what I will do. I would love to try the Synergy springs, but I need something that carries the weight of a loaded LJ. The Synergy are actually 5lbs lighter...
