That sums it up a lot better. Thank you for that. I mean just buying the lower control arms for now (or an adjustable set if I'm saving that much money not buying the entire kit) would make the most sense in that case. I guess now the decision turns to Teraflex adjustable or the slightly...

I get that nobody can decide for me. I'm looking to make an informed decision myself. Thats why Im asking questions hoping peole with some more experience on it might have some answers. New to Jeeps and been reading endlessly with mixed results on things. Install isn't an issue, I'll get it...

Bahahahaha. Gota love that auto correct. Moose* was the key word there. I'll add to my original comment though, that I do have a mid width from hooke because it was the most cost effective piece I could mount a winch on.

Like I say, likely to stick at that 2" which is about what I have now judging by the tape measure from bolt to bolt on the shock extension and roughing it in near the spacer on top of the coil. Otherwise, stock to my knowledge other than the spacer lift on it. My questions were more or less, is...

Well here it goes again.... Recently found out my stock Gladiator I bought less than a year ago 'slightly' used low mile didn't have stock suspension. Looks to have a 2"-2 1/4" spacer above the front coil, a shock extension and I'm going to assume it must have a longer stable bar link (that is...

Ali Arc is where it's at coming from where I come from. You can nail a mouse on the highway, survive and do more damage to the moose than your rig. But a little heavy for a Jeep. But if I'm answering the question at hand related to a Jeep. I prefer the look of mid myself over the choices given.

I was starting to realize that, once I started learning a little bit about the steering on these things. But for the cost of the stock stuff vs the cost of an entire aftermarket unit with replaceable ends next time that will work with stock up to 4.5" lift is kind of a selling point on the...

The toe looks waaaay out, like it's cockeyed lol. I was thinking of drilling a couple holes in 2 pieces of flat bar or even bed frame, removing the wheels and bolting them to the hubs then doing measurements from the front and rear from side to side on the flat bar. Wondering if the...

I've been doing a lot of reading, looking around under the JEEP here the last week or so. I'll be doing some more reading before probably ending up posting some more questions in another thread eventually. But just want to follow up in here since it's related to this. The dealer here looks...

I realize this thread went from the initial question to a bunch more, but that's how it goes I guess instead of making multiple posts. Anyway just for future reference for anyone that stumbles across this and is looking for an answer. I got a reply direct from APEX CHASSIS on their non flip...

Thanks. I have that first link on a tab right now, been reading off and on. I'll give that 2md one a read when I get a chance too. Been looking at drag link options since I might as well use it as an excuse to go aftermarket if there's no warranty anyway going forward. I see good things posted...

Thanks for clarifying. Thought you meant adjustable in length. You would think there would be an option out there for that too but I'm sure there is without jumping down that rabbithole at the same time. I'll stick to researching what I'm dealing with now for the time being lol.

You would think the dealer tech would've suggested that. If Mopar has control arms with more adjustments it would make sense if they said that would be the route to correct the caster issue they said was there. Thanks, ya I figured since I didn't notice any actual play in the ball socket...

So, I've been doing quite a bit of research and coming up with mostly questions. After getting under there it looks like a simple R&R for whatever might need done. But I'm thinking maybe the tie rod isn't bad. I can grab it as if I'm gona bench the jeep and rotate it amd it will make the...

I'm probably going to go the more cost effective route for now, bad timing for a repair. But, I'm not a fan of the greaseable replacements. Prefersealed joints over years of trial and error. Only takes one time of not greasing after going through some water to start the wear. If I price out...

And follow up to those, here is a screenshot of the part #'s I'm finding. Can I buy 2 of #5 and #10 and be good or do I need #'s 5, 8, 9 & 10? Second pic is the ends with price if I have to buy the #8 & #9 they would be roughly $500 each plus the other end on each... So I guess for the tie...

Not sure it matters anymore now that I went out and got under the unit myself. But heres some of those pics from earlier and the Work Order/Quote(FYI I can get the part quoted for at least $30 cheaper from the same place pre discount I usually use there). There are a couple terrible pics for...

So, just because I'd rather go outside while the sun shines instead of firing up the laptop. I decided to go have a look for myself. Correct me if I'm not using the correct terminology here auto correct and big thumbs pending. I grabbed the drag link (the one on an angle coming from the...

So true.... the plan was to buy it and drive it and actually have a warranty with an extra 5 years (or something like that) Then I bought a winch and needed a bumper to mount it on, the needed rims so I could use the BFG 285's I already had. Then I find out I actually have a "lift" (I...

Align it myself caster too? I'll have to follow up and look in to that. I mean I've only even dealt with setting the tow then getting caster/camber close for the drive to the alignment shop on previous vehicles. So, (remember I'm new to this type of suspension/Jeeps in general, famous words...
