  1. just in case, be sure to clean the heck out of the area above the rear wheel wells during the first washing. :( when will dodge figure out that weak point and do something about it already! :fs1:
  2. While I've never seen any evidence of the factory offering such an thing, I could definitely see a dealership doing it to spruce up their parking lot. :D
  3. can you share a pic of the interference? I also trimmed the control arm where it was contacting the cab body. I had no lift and all my trimming was purely for theoretical offroading perfection so I got full droop.
  4. is this the clearance you're talking about?
  5. 00-01 XJ and any year TJ will work too. :thumbsup:
  6. just can't help myself :D please note that Al Unser JR drove the MJ trucks in the stadium racing. not a clue why this pin says SR. :dunno:
  7. it'll be somewhere around that height. :thumbsup: the lift needed to match the front depends heavily on how much sag is in the leafs and the height of the new perches and so everyone's SOA is a bit different.
  8. tire chains are not street-legal in every state.
  9. plus tire traction reduces with age (aka: they get harder with time).
  10. well, if it's any consolation to you, when I pulled my blown peugeot for an AX-15 swap I found my pilot bearing had long since disintegrated. there was nothing left of it but the outer shell. :( still worked to the bitter end. :D (and was surprisingly quiet the whole time)
  11. I lopped off a few inches to fit my 60.
  12. techj questions should really go in the tech forum. :thumbsup:
  13. mine spans the rollbar down tubes
  14. um, ebay has a funny way of finding its own prices. :thumbsup:
  15. slight traction upgrade there :D looks like fun!
  16. it has to do with your post count. the forum software wouldn't let me remove it completely, so I went with some whimsical titles. :D I believe it changes again once you hit 50.
  17. which account name did you want to keep? which email addy? probably be easiest if I just gave you a new password for the old account.
  18. that sucks man :(
  19. what an awesome survivor :drool: love it!
  20. good eye indeed. so bigger tube plus thicker leaves plus metric ton packs plus mystery leaf = more lift than most. :thumbsup: maybe. can you snap a shot of the ends of the leaves? the ends of factory leaves should all match and should be equally-ish spaced.
  21. yup. bigger tube plus thicker leaves plus metric ton packs = more lift than most. :thumbsup:
  22. spring-overs range anywhere from 4.5 to 6.5 inches or more. the outright lift varies because of axle tube thickness, leaf pack thickness, and perch height. How much lift you need up front to compensate depends heavily on the sag of your leafs. are your leafs stock? to measure your lift over stock: http://comancheclub.com/topic/11098-how-to-measure-ride-hight/
  23. also, you'll need a 4wd trans. the t-case won't just bolt up to your 2wd trans. :thumbsup:
  24. curious as to what you hope to glean?
