made it all the way to GA. :D the van performed admirably (212k miles on her now) and the trip was pretty uneventful. kinda chilly down here... :doh:

2wd MJs sit 1 inch lower than 4wd. that means slightly different coils and leafs. The ride should be about the same.

was this lift originally for an XJ?

for Dodgefan, adding new coils might give more lift than he's looking for (having a 2wd). the pucks and shackles will lift the truck precisely 2" higher than it currently is. adding 2" lift coils will lift the front up 3" above what it is now (2wds are shorter than 4wds). and yes, going 2" can help keep costs at bay. just need pucks and shackles. But we of course can't guarantee you won't find issues along the way. :(

nothing yet. remind me again in a week when I'm back in Michigan. :thumbsup:

I had a vehicle fall off some cheap wussy crappy old hand-me-down jackstands. right next to me. and trapped me up against the garage wall (I was standing). and just in case that wasn't scary enough, the stand punctured the gas tank. good times. good times. :ack: I bought my first set of good stands the very next day and threw out the old ones. :yes:

that would be the total licensing fee. :thumbsup:

ebay will have spacers and shackles.

plenty of variables when going SOA. 2wd leaves sit about an inch lower than 4wd. sagging leaves will mean less lift needed up front. leaves in better shape mean more is needed. the type of perch you use can affect the end height. bottom line is you could end up with anything between 5 and 6.5 inches needed up front to match the rear.

heading down to GA for my nephew's baptism. will be on the road and out of touch on the 25th and on the 1st, but should have internet in between when I'm in GA. Guess I'll find out just how reliable my 97 town'n'country is. :D So far I haven't gone more than 10 miles at a time since I fired it up for winter DD duties. we now return you to your regularly scheduled MJ addictions...

You're not the first to experience a broken fork. :thumbsup: but there's no need to even keep the fork. I know at least one member who used a hose clamp around the axle shaft to keep the collar over. said it's been that way for years. :wrench:

...must ... drive ... really ... really .... fast... :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool:

car-part.com might be of help :thumbsup:

dual diaphragm booster :thumbsup:

getting perches welded on can be as easy as driving to the local muffler shop and handing them 20 bucks. :thumbsup: Do not spend anything on "upgrading" a Dana 35. no. no. no. no. no. no. :no:

which flywheel tone ring did you use?

sounds like a good Jeep project. :D tech questions should really go in the Tech forum so more guys will see them and then the answers will be in our searchable database. :thumbsup: no need to use the thumbs. We've got plenty of bandwidth available for the fullsize images. :thumbsup:

Did you retain the old 87 wire harness? Or did you swap in the new 94 wire harness? Or are you saying that you just swapped a block and transmission? Which intake did you use, old or new? Which distributor did you use, old or new? Which throttlebody? Which CPS?

alrighty then. guess I needed to be more explicit when I asked our host IF it was possible to revert back to the previous day. Seems they took that as a please do it. and so they did. Can't wait to see what sort of hell today will be as I try to piece together what all happened yesterday. :( at least the smilies work again. :doh: does anyone know of a forum running fusionbb? That's the forum software that our hosts can set us up with for a monthly fee.

just a heads up that we'll be offline for a bit around 4 or 5am eastern time. :typing:

haven't looked into frames yet. I'm a bit behind too, as this isn't my first poster that needs a home. and if the unsidedown grill is good enough for Mr. Unser, it's good enough for me. :D

a stock 3.54 MJ 44 might be worth 300 if in great shape. a stock 3.54 Dana 30 isn't worth more than 100 unless it's awesome or late model.

the hoses will stay. :thumbsup: the conversion to 134 uses new o-rings and seals. I would buy the conversion kit, fill-er-up with 134 and a leak detection additive, and see what happens.

did you put the shim back in?

they wouldn't happen to be on ebay, would they? what are your plans for the truck?
