Ok so it's not quite March but I couldn't wait'' I will be working on it mostly in March cause the parts won't arrive till Feb 25-27. I'm going to update this thread as I go along. Maybe it will help someone else. More likely someone will help me.
A little background. I purchased my Tj a little over a year ago. Came with:
4" OME Sl with adj tracbars and homemade discos.
D30 and d35 geared 4.56 with trutrac in rear
And a few other mods not related to this project. It's what is missing that's important.
I drove and wheeled last summer thinking the vibes and lack of handling were just the nature of a lifted Jeep. Ignorance is bliss. Then I started reading threads on this forum. Soon I joined and started ask questions and searching. Armed with my new knowledge I crawled under my jeep and this is what I found.
As you can see no jounce stop or cup on the front.
No extensions in rear. At least I have stops.
Stock SY and DS. Also notice the shock alongside the CA. WTF? It's a goner.
Tcase drop.
This is how she looked yesterday afternoon.
To address these issues I have purchased:
UCF ultra high clearance skid and lo-pro mount.
JB Conversions SS SYE and DC DS.
Savvy aluminum adj U&L CAs
Novak cable tcase shifter
In my avatar you see a set of nerfs. My son took those for his TJ as they will be replaced with Savvy tube style rocker guards/sliders.
Got started yesterday.
Basically just prep work as I wait for parts.
