    Lift and Tires

    I have a 2000 2.5L 4Cyl. Running 31” on stock lift (I think, bought it that way). Tires are almost done so I was looking to upgrade.

    Jeep LJ not sitting level after lift

    I am having some confusion on why my LJ is not closer to level from driver side to passenger side. Driver front is roughly 1.5”inches higher than passenger. 2.5” suspension lift was installed, springs were same size (made sure beforehand). I also put myself in the driver seat and had my wife...

    Questions about new to me LJ

    A couple weeks ago, I purchased for my wife a 2005 LJ with 112k on the odometer. One of the reasons I bought it was the mileage and all the accessories that came on it. My dilemma is, I have no idea how I can tell if and what lift kit has been installed. I see the shocks are non-OEM as well as...

    Shimmy at 65mph in a 2006 LJ

    Per previous post, I've spent the last two months chasing a shimmy. Some say it's vibrations, some say shimmy. With everything I've done and replaced, I'm at a point where removing the rear driveshaft or putting it in 4H eliminates the vibrations. Some suggest SYE and new driveshaft but that...

    What else do I need with my lift?

    I just purchased this ‘05 TJ. It came with a 2.5in RC lift. With it being RC it was a cheap option that only included the springs and shocks. I want to build this Jeep right. With that I know I need to put some money into it upgrading the other parts to get its geometry back to normal. Wondering...

    Thoughts on upgrading a 2" lift for LJ

    Hello I have an 05 auto LJ that has been lifted 2" for the past 4 years now. I used 2" coil spacers on the front & 3/4" spacers on the rear along with the original springs. I also added some type of Rancho Shocks then but cannot remember the model. I later replaced the PO's nonoriginal rims...

    Shocks / suspension lift

    Hello everyone I'm new to the forum and new to Jeeps. I just finished an Overlander build on a 1999 Ford Expedition and thought it would be fun to make a rock crawler so I picked up a 1998 Jeep Wrangler that's pretty much stock. One thing I never messed with on my truck was a lift kit just...
