DAVECS2, I run RPMs above 2500 constantly (37's w5.13s and a 6spd) My cruise rpm at 75 is near 2600 and I haven't had a single issue with this jeep. I did have both intake cams on a mostly stock JK replaced at 40k miles. Mine JT only runs about 200* water temp until I'm stuck in traffic for...

Ok, so this isn't a inward bent control arms will fix it issue. The wheels you like are the stock Willys wheels. A 1.25" wheel spacer will fix all your issues. Factory wheels can accommodate a smaller spacer, there are lug pockets in the wheel mounting surface for them.

Which 3.5" lift do you have? Stock wheels are 7.5" wide +44 offset.

Do you have adjustable rear control arms too? That thrust angle needs addressed once you find what is loose up front. If you can't get the tires dynamically balanced, they will cause DW. I've seen a couple with 80+ pounds of road force. That force will cause issues on a solid axle rig. If...

That's pretty normal.. the pitman arm joint is a bear to get off..

I couldn't find any play with a pry bar, but when I pulled them apart to replace with Metal Cloak Baller joints, they were floppy with almost no resistance to them. Also, check the 4 bolts that hold your steering box on. Mine were loose from the factory.

Ball joints are likely toast. Do you still have factory steering?

Just curious, does the amp you used have an RCA for sub frequencies? I keep hoping someone will make an easy button to amplify all the cabin speakers and give sub RCAs to keep it super simple.

That's the one we need. $275 on Jegs. Not bad!

Those are JK wrangler cams. They won't work for the JL/JT.

No extended fronts needed with the Clayton 3.5. Mine are plenty long stock until your front shocks are over 29.5" extended.

Rears are typically longer, but go on Clayton's website and look at their recommendations for the fox 2.0s for their 2.5" lift. That should get you a pretty close starting point. If those fronts are the same length (26.5") look at their recommendation for their 3.5" kit. You may have to add...

28" extended length in the front is generally safe for the front driveshaft. At 28.5" you will oblong the collar on the CV.

Man, please look at the dates on posts. You keep bringing back threads that are 3+ years old.

That's awesome! Thanks

Currently running Clayton 3.5" rear springs, but I'm totally open to changing whatever needs to be changed. Long term plans were to move to either king or fox 2.5s

Measure from the tire to the frame on both sides. See if those numbers are the same.. if they aren't, adjust the trackbar.

I wouldn't buy them either.. not my style. But someone might.

You would transfer the sensors, yes, but giving them somewhere to live in the new light adds production costs.

JL/JT has the option of the blindspot monitoring. It's housed in the tail lights.
