i hear about RE joints and bushings wearing out all the time...although most people are happy with the RE lifts it seems that a lot of the RE CA's that you see for sale always have a bad joint or bushing...the owner will say they replaced it once or twice
for trackbar, JKS is probably one of the top picks...many people run the RE though...a few locals run the RE trackbar and like it except for they've had to replace the heim joint (i think ?) once...which lead to death wobble...but gone with the new joint
is 1150 $ a good price for a set of 8 CAs and 2 TBs from currie? then i would order them in some days.
i wish i had a friend who´s stationed here in germany. then he could order all the parts for me to his APO address...
is it hard to adjust the CAs if they are installed? i never did this before.
Let me make a few phone calls. I have a bunch of friends who are currently stationed in Germany. I'll hook you up my friend......I'll PM you when I hear something!!
You can either jack the car up on jack stands and let the axle drop and then adjust it. Or you can do what i do and just leave the jeep on flat ground with tires still on, get a buddy that has a winch and placed his jeep behind ur jeep. then unbolt one side of the control arms that needs adjustment, lengthen or shorten the arms, then use the winch to pull or push the axle to meet the control arm. To pull the axle forward, i use my winch line from my winch. To go pull the axle back, i use my friends jeep.
i've seen someone hook a strap up to the axle to pull it back so they could get the CA to line up so they could put the bolt in...but that was on the trail with a stock CA.
man i got 4" kit w/ the CAs that came w/ the lift. Many people said the lift is "crap". I dont have ANY problems even w/ my front sway bar discoed and with out the shocks. (yes i did remove all 4 shocks to see how harsh the springs are alone and it rides as soft as a cloud). The shocks are the problem that causes the lift to ride like a race car.
All i need for that kit is an adjustable trackbar since i dont like the whole dpa and the relocation bracket crap..
The t-bars are fine, its the "rotating" control arms that aren't allowed, you must have misread it.
