Had the guys from the local Jeep club take the lead on installing the suspension. I'm glad I did, I knew a midwest jeep with 130k on the odometer would create a few challenges. Had a few of the upper rear shock bolts break, and other rust related issues that they were able to work through.
Installed Brown Dog Rubber 1" MML, 1.25 JKS BL, OME HD 2.5" kit, JKS front and rear adjustable trackbars, and JKS rear end links. Already had front disconnects installed.
Went with 285/75r16 (33's) Mickey Thompson MTZ P3s. I found a great deal on these, priced around 175 a tire after their rebate. Installed at Costco, they filled to 40PSI during installation, aired down to 25 and it rides much smoother. Load E due to keeping the Moabs, I love those rims on the TJ though.
Came out vibration free, only issues that I need to iron out are:
- Exhaust currently hits my Front upper control arm bracket, gets a serious rattle.
- Trim the plastic manual transmission shifting housing trim, when in 2nd and 4th gear the shifter is hitting the plastic that holds the shift boot.
- Look into a Savvy or Novak transfer case cable system, we adjusted the stock set-up but it is not as easy to operate since lifting.
