Why go steel wheel when you could run some stock Jeep take off wheels? If you don’t trust a standard all season tire like from the overland or sport look for some rubicon take offs. That or just get the wheels and put a tire of your choice on them. I would trust a stock wheel for durability over...

I sent you a PM

I think I recall him saying that the driveshaft has been replaced. The thing I find odd is that he said he had no trouble until after the lift kit was installed. That just screams something wrong with the install especially since he says he hasn’t done any significant off roading and hasn’t...

Well it sounds like the driveline angle should be good then. These other guys know Jeeps better than me so if that isn’t an issue and you have no vibration with the driveshaft out it may be the TC. At this stage I would just drop it at the dealer and say fix it. It is covered by warranty correct?

From the pictures right you have 4.0 and 7.4 on the rear driveline giving you a pinion angle of 3.4. From what I know about things that is 1.4 degrees too much angle. CV style joints and the rear axle to driveshaft alignment is recommended to be no more than 2 degrees unless that is different on...

Getting it to NC would be the challenge. What are yours thoughts on that and how much are you wanting for it?

Is it possible the control arms sent in the kit were the wrong length?? Maybe when they were installing g the kit they left stock length arms in place?? This is of course just all guessing for me and not seeing it first hand but if someone else could get the angles on the rear diff and the...

I understand what you are saying but is there not still some tolerance limit on angle? Mine is at stock height still but the pinion angle from mine and what I see in the pictures above indicates there is a large difference. My diff angle and driveshaft angle are very close to dead on. I can’t...

Get the angle from the pinion on both the transfer case and the pinion on the differential. Then get the angle from the drive shaft. It is a simple thing to check and as level of ground as possible. I sent a link to a good article previously but basically you subtract the Driveshaft degree angle...

Before I would drop the driveshaft again I would get the protractor and check pinion angle. It would take less time and at least rule out pinion angle as a concern.

That sounds exactly like a bad pinion angle. no driveshaft = no issue which rules out any axle based or tire based issues. The only thing remaining is TC and Driveshaft.

Actually E85 gains a good little bump to power output. This was mentioned in another thread as well. The fuel system in every modern day car is ethanol compatible. It has to be due to the blended fuels. Anyone with an older boat motor understands just how bad even a little ethanol can be to...

Not sure where I was getting the front driveshaft from. I still say go get you a $10 magnetic protractor from harbor freight and check your pinion angle. I realize that normally a 2” lift would not require pinion angle to be modified but in my head things like rear axle brackets welded out of...

So many things have been tried. The one thing that seemed to stop the vibration was removing the front driveshaft if I read that correctly. Now my thoughts on this is that when they did the lift install they somehow jacked up the pinion angle. It seems to make sense in my head anyway because you...

I could imagine with the added 2.8L of displacement that it is a completely different experience and a heck of a lot of fun to drive.

Everyone knows real Jeepers do it plywood style. What’s this rock sheet you are talking about? Rocks is for driving over not haulin in the back. :like:

Bump

Wish you were closer to me.

One thing I will warn you about is dealerships making promises of below invoice then you get there and they start talking about the addendum and all the things they did to the truck. I would be sure the deal is completed by 100% before you take the time to travel there. I mean including...

now that would be some serious fun.
