hump... i don't think anyone is givin him a hard time... just offerin advice like he asked... i know anything i said wasnt meant to give a hard time ... jusdt advice from one fellow wheeler to another.... :cheers:

have a buddy saw ur steering wheel back and forth and u go under and watch ur track bar even the slightest little bit of play in the bottom bushing can give u the DW's ...... if u need a new bushing i would rrecomend using an oem one like whats in there all ready as they hold up way better then aftermarcket poly bushings.... u will need to take track bar off and take it in to get pressed out and a new on pressed on... but way better quality

a 2" lift shouldnt throw things off to bad IMO..... but if u removed ur camber bolts on the houseing to do ur install they should have went back in the same way they came out...... on a 2" lift u should have to ajust much if any i never have and not once dd i get the DW or uneven wear on tires etc..... messure the inside of ur back tires from tire to tire and then messure the inside of ur front tire to tire the front should be 1/8th toed in when jacked up.....u will need to ajust with the ajustment sleve on drag link to get ur steering wheel straight.... then messure up ur front tires again and ajust with ur tie-rod by losing the bolts on the sleves then use a pipe wrench to get some leverage.... its a back yard alignment but they work IMO..... of and a steering stabalizer won't cure anything all it does is mask ur problem... if all bushings r good and everything is tight and down to spec camber etc etc u don't even need a steering stabalizer but many things can cause death wobble here r a few lose wheel nuts < it happens to the best of us > bad track bar bushing bad u-joint bad wheel bearing alignment scalloped tires uneven tire pressure some tires in general caster camber bein off

yeah fixed aftermarket LCA's usally only go for 40 or 50 bucks wich is very cheap for a well built and tested mod..... but u mentioned LCA drops... i would advise not using them if u trail ride on anything rocky as they hang very low and get ripped off very easy and when u rip on off it usally takes ur whole mount right from frame... seen it happen a couple times but like everyone eles says add up what u spent in material and time and i bet ur past what aftermarket ones cost....

now with my experaice with 4 diffrent jeep in the past year i ran a zj on rc ajustable arms with no bend in them just plain straight tube with threaded johny joint and i never broke one and my trail riding isnt mud or mild stuff its rocks bigger then my tires etc so she got beat on... and not once did i even losen the nut on it ..... then my xj and my other v8 zj were on home brew tube arms built exact same as bds fixed slight bend but was made out of allmost 1/4 wall and did the same wheelin big rocks lots of drops and never even kinked one .... but keep in mind u get pretty well the same drop on shorts arms even if they r stright or even a slight bend in them their isnt much diffreance at all IMO.... but the slight bend in a tube arm isnt gunna make it weak and the rc ajustable arms there is enough thread in the stock that ur not gunna break it but no harm in trying them ... but i would be worried about breaking one and then havin all the strain of ur front axel on the upper arms... and if a upper arm lets go while ur drivin ur whole housing will roll right under ur jeep and u will have no steering etc and cause an accident.... i rolled a front end on my old xj when i ripped a control arm bracket off but luckely it was on a trail coming off a rock so it just stoped in its tracks but like i said I'm not tryin to beat ur build up by anymeans... just offerin advice ...this is how we all learn diffrent things. :) ... keep us updated on how they work... would like to see pics when complet done and on ur mj sittin level and maybe twisted up on a rock or somthin cheers! Nick

ummm if it was me i would NOT run those..... u could have done a couple things u could have just welded a peice of plate to the bottom of ur stock arms and have pretty well the same thing thats in ur pics less the bend but if it was me i would have used 2 1/2 " round tubing with atleast 1/4" wall for strength cause there is alot of pressure on ur lower arms..... and they would look allmost identical to BDS arms or rough country fixed arms... with a little bend in them bushing are only like $20 for 4 and I'm sure a couple feet of tubing should be easy to accuire i think just from the pics u have to much bend on the lower part of the arm..... if anyone in my area ever got caught runnin somthin like that on the road it would be an automatic tow and impound on ur rig ... this is just my opinion and not ment to be an @$$ if i sounded like one lol

well picked up my 33/12.5/15 km2's from a buddy of mine today about 95% tread left he only had them on his xj for 2 months and got a smokin deal on them also!!! i figure they will be better on the road then the groved boggers iv been runnin lol

a d35 with any size tire don't like gettin the clutch dumped at 4000rpms hahahaha..... but yah iv seen people wheel a d35 with 35" crawlers and never had a issue but they were on alot of stock friendlty stuff.... these boggers r way to wide 14.5 it says but even with the tj flares in the front they stick out about 4"s and the DOT don't like any tire showin in this area lol..... i heard good and bad things about the km2's and figured the only way to know is if i acctually try them..... thye r goinj on a 10" wide rim tho

the recycle sticker is off now as well as all the nsjc stickers..... but yeah figured a 44 and 9" would work decent under it with some good gearing was thinkin 4:56's as i dd this everyday still....and i can get my hands on a 44 and a 9" combo for 300 bucks wich is an amazing price for around here ill try an snap a couple of the intereior.. its looks nicer out side then it does inside lol thought about gettin some zj leather seats they r so comphy on the trail lol... i just sold my 98 zj limited with the 318 and miss them seats gotta pick up a set of tires tomorow guna try out the km2's but goin down to a 33" for the time bein while i still have these baby axels in it ... id imagin ill blow that d35 up with 35's the guy who owened it befor me didnt wheel it much i don't think or the type of wheelin i do... he likes mud i like rocks and rocks arnt as forgivin as mud lol
