Be prepared to kiss the entire drivetrain goodbye. :yes:

Sorry about missing that link. :doh: Hey JT, how about not disguising the iffy links next time. :shake: Remember that not everyone is internet savvy enough to check the bottom left corner before clicking (though they should learn that trick asap).

"Turning over" is "cranking". Old gas?

Everyone should pull the carpet and check. :thumbsup:

Out of curiosity, have you gotten the truck aligned?

What vehicle did it come from?

I believe SE is a Dakota model designation. Definitely not an MJ.

Center caps are overrated in my opinion. They rust, they collect dirt, and they can make mounting the wheel on the truck a real pain. :(

The AW-4 is one inch longer than the AX-15 and Ba-10. :thumbsup:

The CJ part is a bushing. Costs about $2. What year is the AX-15?

I wish. :yes: But in all seriousness, this free software does pretty much everything we need. Just a couple minor issues here and there. Besides, most of my "job effort" has nothing to do with the software. Some days I feel like a marriage counselor and high school principal all rolled into one. :shake:

Questions should really go in the Tech forum so more people will see them. :thumbsup:

Not until I have a job. :shake:

To go that far, I'd unbolt the driveshafts from the axles and strap them securely under the truck (pulling the rear shaft will allow the t-case fluid to come out). I'd also look up your towing capabilities of that Nissan first. A bone stock 4wd MJ weighs in at almost 3500 lbs.

While I too find it annoying when people don't follow up with their posts, I'm not quite to the point that I want to burden the mods with more work. Plus I'm not exactly crazy about the idea of gaining 25 worthless posts cluttering up the rest of the forums from each guy that just wants to place an ad for a truck. Also, I've been on the flip side of this issue trying to sell off the leftover Bronco parts in the garage. Took the better part of an hour to find enough tech questions to which I could actually contribute, just to get rid of some pieces of exterior trim. :shake: And, to the best of my knowledge, this forum software doesn't offer an automated way to require a certain post count before posting in a particular forum. :dunno: If anyone knows a way, please let me know. :thumbsup:

I'll be checking out a bit early tonight. Getting up for green beer at a local Pub. :cheers: Doors open at 7 and we gotta be there a bit early to get a booth. Our previous paddy day hangout got itself closed a few months ago. Bummer. I was looking forward to 10c green beers and bagpipe solos on the half-hour. :( We'll see what the new place delivers for the early birds.

Space abounds. No worries there. :D Posts are retained so that someone else might find it if they have a similar issue. :thumbsup: In fact, if you've solved the problem, please follow up with what worked and what didn't.

Could you repeat that with some punctuation?

More power to ya if you can get enough info from the group. :thumbsup: Couple thoughts though: -since a lot of us have our lower mounts or bumpstops in custom locations, that might not work quite as well as hoped. My 88's measurements will be worthless to anyone who doesn't have my exact setup (also the stock flares are gone) -different techniques for lifting will have different shock requirements, it's not just about height (AAL vs longer shackle vs full replacement packs) -tire size can affect bumpstop location which will also affect shock travel Also, we don't really need to sticky it. It'll get bumped as people include their info. :thumbsup:

Shock mount bolts seem to be fairly standard in size. But I don't exactly have a lot of experience with the Toys to say for certain. Have you called Edelbrock yet?

How long can those arms get? Some where on here there's a chart showing what the arm lengths should be at certain heights.

Yup. And they didn't actually burn up the MJ or the SJ. They both had stand-ins for the fire scenes. :thumbsup:

Trucks are apparently more aerodynamic with it up. Plus, if it were any other way, you know the OEMs would offer auto-dropping tailgates to squeak out that last bit of mpg on their behemoth gas-guzzlers. :D

Swapping your drivetrain for 4x4 parts will not affect the ride height. It'll still be like is is now. :thumbsup:

You're the third person I know that's broken their digi camera in the last week and a half. :eek: What the heck is everyone doing to their cameras? I've only had one camera failure in my life and it was a software issue (pictures were coming out all psychedelic).
