    Shimmy at 65mph in a 2006 LJ

    Per previous post, I've spent the last two months chasing a shimmy. Some say it's vibrations, some say shimmy. With everything I've done and replaced, I'm at a point where removing the rear driveshaft or putting it in 4H eliminates the vibrations. Some suggest SYE and new driveshaft but that...

    What else do I need with my lift?

    I just purchased this ‘05 TJ. It came with a 2.5in RC lift. With it being RC it was a cheap option that only included the springs and shocks. I want to build this Jeep right. With that I know I need to put some money into it upgrading the other parts to get its geometry back to normal. Wondering...

    Thoughts on upgrading a 2" lift for LJ

    Hello I have an 05 auto LJ that has been lifted 2" for the past 4 years now. I used 2" coil spacers on the front & 3/4" spacers on the rear along with the original springs. I also added some type of Rancho Shocks then but cannot remember the model. I later replaced the PO's nonoriginal rims...

    Would stock 2.5 shocks and springs fit on my 4.0?

    hello, I’m new to the jeep world so I need a lot of help with what’s what. My jeep has a 3.5 inch lift installed by the previous owner, and 33 inch tires. The lift is a bit too much for what I would like, and I found a set of stock TJ shocks and springs for sale. The only problem is a believe...

    Shocks / suspension lift

    Hello everyone I'm new to the forum and new to Jeeps. I just finished an Overlander build on a 1999 Ford Expedition and thought it would be fun to make a rock crawler so I picked up a 1998 Jeep Wrangler that's pretty much stock. One thing I never messed with on my truck was a lift kit just...

    Lowering Transfer Case

    I'm looking for temporary solutions to reducing vibrations of the 4" lift of my 1997 TJ. I believe it is a 4" rough country lift kit with probably 1" body lift and 3" suspension lift. Would I be able to drop the transfer case more than an inch? I was imagining that the vibrations would reduce...

    Suspension upgrade advice

    So I'm looking to replace my suspension. I bought the jeep 2 years ago its a 97 (later year release) and pretty much stock. I don't think the suspension has ever been changed and it's in need of a refresh. I've done some digging around and I'm thinking about going with the Rancho shocks and...

    3 1/4 lift with 32s and stock rims

    Would my tires rub with the stock rims(rims are painted) on 32’s if I add a 3 1/4 life (springs and shocks), body lifts are kinda out of the picture it’s got an automatic transmission and is my daily driver with the six cylinder, Dana 44 rear and 3.73 gearing.

    Pulling to right on deceleration

    Hi all! Bought a TJ a couple of weeks ago, and I was hoping someone might be able to give me a pointer on where to start with this odd steering behavior. I'm finding that when taking my foot off the gas, that the jeep wants to make a sudden dive to the right. The higher in the rpm range, the...
