Thats what I think!! CW

I agree....for your specs, 4:56's is what I would do... CW

Thank you... Its easier when its not your only vehicle... read don't RUSH. CW

If we can get them for less than twenty each...I'll be getting at least TWO!!! Along with some stickers...haven't gotten off my arse to order those yet... CW

yj JEEP SHOCKS WILL DO WHAT YOU WANT. THEY ARE ABOUT 2" LONGER THAN XJ/MJ. cw

Yeah I found out that one the hard way. 8) LOL...me too!!! I have done FULL SIZED truck beds with two guys. You just need stronger friends. ;) If you want to be really slick,...position the truck so you can elevate the bed on 2X4's & saw horses and DRIVE OUT FROM UNDER IT!!! Now that's :chillin: :chillin: :chillin: :thumbsup: CW

CW

My point EXACTLY!!! Too many people immediately think HACK job when they hear fender trimming...It DOSENT have to be that way!!! CW

I have the ACOS's on mine. Dirty is right, HIGHER may not be the answer as it will also open you up to OTHER problems!! Why so against trimming??? I am not talking a hack job. But smart careful trimming, you will really NEED to do at least a little. I don't know how your gonna get around it... I trimmed just a bit to start... That is a 33" tar with the front lower edge and rear lower edge trimmed off. Good clearance and minimal trimming. Aside from the front which didn't need as much removed as I did . there was minimal removed. Mostly needed at the lower rear of each front tar. CW

Yea two guys can do it...but theres more there than your average bed...the emergency brakes and the gas tank are also attached to it. So make provisions before you start!! CW

NICE JOB!!! YOU ROCK I like to see this...jeepers helping jeepers!! We have a word for it in my local club, JONFUND. We call it the JONFUND GOODNESS.

Any way, kudos to you thanks!!! I KNOW others will get benifit from this, well written and great pics!! CW

Thanks man... I stopped a guy with a late 80's Dakota a while back. He had a roll bar in it and he was kind enough to let me measure it up and it too looks like it would fit. I have herd the FORD Rangers will fit also. Nice to have the confermation!! Now the mid '90's Nissans also fit!! GOOD TO KNOW!!!! Thanks guys!! CW

If you are careful and use only REAR flairs. The TJ's can be made to look VERY GOOD!!! CW

Use a Mid 90's Dakota line!! Cannot remember the exact legnth. But I am @ about 6" of lift and don't come close to a taught line!! CW

THANKS Pete!! My new securities force me to re-log in at every visit. I am not used to it, so the page now comes up telling me I need to log in is helpful!! thanks, CW

BDS BABY!! they are not the cheapest but not the most expensive either. The springs are gaurenteed for LIFE NO QUESTIONS ASKED!!! www.bds-suspension.com CW

I tyoo had the "flag" mirrors. I hated them. I also noticed that everyone seems to be breaking the XJ style as well.. I REALLY like the west coast JR mirrors but feel they just don't look right on little trucks. Even mine sitting almost 7" of lift on 33's I don't like the look. I picked up some GROTE mirrors and LOVE them!! CW

Here is one of me from 2002 @ Paragon in Penn in my TJ. Image Not Found Here is one from 2005, sorry again in the TJ at a Jeep rally: Image Not Found The trouble is I am usually the one with the camera!!!

BH is absolutely correct. I like to remove the Track bar for inspection, too many times people have said OH I CHECKED IT, ITS FINE. Only to have me or another mech find the TRE or the bushing is shot. Just last week, my neighbor down the road stopped in front of my house. he said, I always see Jeeps here, do you know anything about what is happening to the front of my truck???? He had just spent about 300 bucks for two new tars, and allighnment and a complete front end inspection. He was told everything is fine.....only problem, he still has DW. I had him come back later that day and we removed the TB to find the axle end bushing was TOAST and the TRE was getting loose. I threw on a spare I had and he went off to the parts store for his own. My BRO-IN-LAW bought a 87 MJ one ton about two months ago. GUESS WHAT...the PO sold it because it was not safe to drive!!! DW to the EXTREAM!!! the steering box was loose and easily tightened up with the adj screw. the TRE on the TD was never tighteded!! Uou could litteraly push the TD up about 1/4". What a BUGGER that was to remove, All it did ws spin!!! Now it drives like new!!! about 60 bucks spent and couple hours time. Because of what you have done. I would look close at the TRE on the frame end of the TD as well as the CASTER, if you do not have an adj LCA's you could add a couple shims to your frame end LCA brackets. It will not take much as 2" is usually not enough to put you over the edge, but who really knows... Good luck, CW

Derek, GOOD JOB!!! Looks great, NICE approach angle you got going there!!! I got to change out the shocks on my sister-in-laws EXCURSION today.... Fun.... CW

This is SUCH a beaten topic!!! I mean SO MUCH has been written on the subject one would think everyone knows what it is and how to fix it. It can be MANY things or it could be a number of marginal things. I mean it could be a thoroughly trashed bushing, or a ball joint that only a bit loose combined with TRE's that probably should be replaced soon... Catch my drift? Track bar, out of balance tars, ball joints, CASTER, TOE IN, worn TRE's HUB unit bearings, control arm bushings, steering box...or any combo of those + some more I have missed...Death Wobble is something you will never forget. its REALLY bad shake your teeth from your head so badly you need to sit by the road side for a time before driving again. If it wasn't that bad its just some wobbles and likely just minor worn parts.. If all you did was lift 2" and DID have a alignment and toe in was adjusted, I would say the CASTER is your problem. As you lift you loose Caster. IE the front wheels move rearward with in its arch of movement. FYI, Usually 2" is not enough to cause this.....Are you SURE that 2" spacers is all you changed? CW
