Okay, first off, let me apologize up front that this question is so vague. Unfortunately, I know very little about this vehicle. I inherited from my father-n-law who had done all of the work himself and there is no paperwork to reference anything that he did. On top of that, I've never owned a Jeep (stock or modified) so I have no reference point of how things *should* perform. Having said that, I'm in love with this vehicle and am determined to get it restored to honor my wife's father.
This is an 04' Rubicon with a 2 inch lift. Not a full kit, but something cobbled together by my father-n-law. Appears to be based on ProComp ES3000 shocks and corresponding coils. I *think* that the control arms are stock but am not positive.
Here's the gist:
Any ideas?

Here's the gist:
- Rear end mystery: I can hear and feel a "clunk" whenever the weight shifts to the rear and/or releasing from that position. It happens in both of the following scenarios:
- when hitting and then releasing the accelerator, the clunk is virtually synchronized to those actions. Notably, this ONLY happens when on flat ground. It does not happen when going up hill and gravity keeps all the wait in the rear or when going down hill with all the weight in the front.
- when coasting in reverse on a slight and depressing and releasing the break, a similar thing happens: pressing on the break throws all the weights to the rear and cause the clunk. Releasing the break lets the pressure off.
Any ideas?
