  1. less trimming and fewer headaches. :D
  2. Stock are 5 1/4". High quality speakers and high power amps do more than size. :thumbsup:
  3. That's my plan, and the reason I didn't investigate further. No hissing sound from mine. Heck no. The 88 doesn't really go anywhere. Even more so now that the gas tank won't hold gas. :(
  4. 35s only give you 1" more ground clearance.
  5. old setup with stock shock mounts on top of axle. If you drop the mounting point down some more, you can fit a longer shock current setup.
  6. Nothing wrong with 33s. :thumbsup: What are you doing for gearing?
  7. either type works fine. :thumbsup:
  8. when you figure it out, let me know. :thumbsup: my 88 suffers from the same thing.
  9. Yes, it should work. Mid 70s CJ with a 304/manual trans. It's a $2 part. :thumbsup:
  10. The CJ has a bushing, not a bearing. :thumbsup:
  11. no help here. I forced the stockers to work (too short and too long) and then upgraded to longtravel MX-6 shocks mounted at an angle.
  12. You should be able to measure for compression (minimum length). The axle can only go up to the bumpstops. :thumbsup:
  13. where are you putting the shock mounts?
  14. show off. :clapping:
  15. A thicker swaybar reduces vehicle sway when cornering or taking evasive actions. Bottom line is that the truck will handle better. :thumbsup: but you must measure. there were different bars used on different Jeeps and there's no guarantee that a random v8 GC bar will be thicker than your truck's. It should be, but ya gotta check.
  16. I'm in favor of broken antilocks. :D In my case there are 5 different sensors, 10 different wires with possible continuity breaks, and maybe even a failed clockspring that could all cause this. yippee. oh, and most code scanners don't pick up ABS faults so I might have to go to a dealership for a scan. hurray. :rant:
  17. This is the one I was referring to. lifted the back of my truck about an inch.
  18. Pete M

    Chat room!...

    sorry. been busy lately. :(
  19. If they never have to learn, they will never know. :( how many generations before no one remembers how to manually parallel park?
  20. My 88 was never a pavement queen, even as a 2wd. :D
  21. In more ways than one. :D
  22. That's a fascinating theory put out by the makers of ABS systems, but it doesn't apply to all conditions. And I gotta point out that all of those "non abs" cars skidded out instantly, as if the drivers hammered the undersized brakes with all their might. There is such a thing as moderate brake pressure. it's not an all-or-nothing proposition. If ABS was truly the be-all-end-all (or whatever that phrase is), I gotta imagine you'd see it in competition.
  23. It's a photo of a photo. just an optical illusion because i had to tilt the camera a bit to eliminate its shadow on the print. :thumbsup:
