Hello 👋 Need a little help. I have a stock 2017 wrangler. Nothing fun added to it - currently have around 73K miles on it. Recently, my service department told me I need to get the following IMMEDIATELY: Upper+Lower Ball Joints All Tie Rods Outer+Inner Drag links He said normal wear and tear...

Hi everyone. New here to the forum. I just got a 2017 JK Unlimited Sport Utility 4D. I plan on using it more for road travel vs off-roading and adventuring. Is there a way to make the ride smoother and less bouncy? My girlfriend gets car sick riding in the jeep and I want to try and reduce that...

I have a Jeep Wrangler JL and am considering upgrading the suspension to improve off-road performance and handling. I have done some research and have come across several options, but I am having a hard time deciding which one to go with. Can anyone recommend a specific suspension kit that they...

Hi. Below is my new 2017 to me Jeep I am working on 70k miles . I started this over the summer when I got a good deal on a 17 Wrangler unlimited sport with 70k miles. I just came off a 2010 Frankenstein build that I sold. This I am trying to get right. I love the stances of the jeeps at...

Time to throw down some $?.. The ride on my TJ has gotten bumpier and bumpier (and that's on the highway!). It's got 90K miles and the drivetrain is solid, but the handling has gone to crap. I've realligned the front end, and rebalanced the tires, but I think (and it's been suggested to me)...

Hey everyone, First time poster, but I haven't seen this question answered before. I have a 3.5" Rubicon Express lift on my '97 TJ. The only thing I don't like about this lift is that the body looks slightly lower in the front than in the back. I'm going to be swapping axles soon and since I'm...

I have a 2016 JK Sahara with 2.5 inch lift and 33s. I've upgraded the steering stabilizer and will be doing the tie rod and drag link next -- while at it... should I upgrade the ball joints? If the other parts of the suspension have been upgraded...would the stock ball joints become the weak...

I put 285 tires on stock jeep (2016 unlimited sport) and now it makes noises like it creaks everytime I go over an indentation on the street or any light bump. And at times you can hear something loose or rattling just as your driving normally. Can anyone tell me what is going on and what needs...

I have a 2014 jku rubicon with a Rubicon express 3.5in sport lift kit and 37x13.5 nitto terra grapplers. I have a steel front bumper and in the rear I have the stock bumper as well as a spare tire delete kit. Everytime I go over a speed bump regardless of speed the front is fine but the rear end...

I'm just starting to research this a little. Want to keep the same ride quality that I've got now in my '17 JK. I doubt I'll do any serious wheeling--we go through a creek bed every now and then, but I can do that stock. I admit I am mostly doing it for looks and bigger wheels. Would love...

I have a 2008 Wrangler Sahara 2 door. I want to put a 33inch all terrain tire on it and suspension. But here’s pretty much what I want to make it. I don’t like rock crawling or anything, I like to go fast(ish) on dirt roads. I love the like of a 2-2.5 inch lift on 33s, but I want it to be able...

So after almost 2 years into my build, still trying to work out the final kinks in my suspension. Specifically - what sounds like a bump stop to frame smacking in the ass end of the rig. I've tried a few times to garner assistance on this topic previously - but since i have a Frankenlift, it's...

Over the last week my right rear tire seems to have drifted on it's toe reading. I haven't hit any potholes, or taken the rig off road, since prior to 11/26 when I did major (major to me) suspension work. I installed Teraflex's 2.5" coil springs (kit), Rancho XL9000s, a Teraflex monster front...

I have a stock '89 YJ, and I want to get some floor clearence, I'm a bit on a budget here, but I would like to start a project on this, I've always loved jeeps since I was a kid, I'm thinking on starting on suspension, and this is my idea: - 2.5in suspension kit - 1.25 body lift The questions...

Stock 2016 Sahara Unlimited driven mostly on the streets in California. Great vehicle in all respects except the side to side rocking motion from pavement irregularities. It is especially bad for people in the back seat. Seems to me that better rebound dampening on the shocks would solve the...
