Another set of newbie questions. 1997 Wrangler Sahara. I believe it has been lifted 2.5" (14.5" front spring seat-to-seat, 10" back spring seat-to-seat).
Two questions:
1) The vehicle rides very loose, like you are on slinky springs - is that generally true of jeeps and/or jeeps with lift? Is it by design for easier ride off road or could something be amiss with the suspension (see one item below)? I typically rejuvenate older muscle cars, so the jeep ride is a new experience. Just feels very loose around corners and starting/stopping.
2) The sway bark links appear to be original with one side broken and the other side heavily worn. When I go to replace the links, do I need to get a different length given the 2.5" lift?
Thank you and Happy New Year,
Woody...
