I did lift my JTR. To me it is part form and part function. Like others have said, in my opioion, the form needs to be at the right scale and the Mopar 2” lift with 37’s met that desire. From the function side, I do some off-roading where this has helped, but the visual improvement when...
Kam,
By loose steering do you mean that you can saw the wheel back forth without the wheels changing direction, or your steering feels flighty at speed? If sawing without wheel movement then you are probably looking at the steering box and the dealer should address. If flighty, you need to...
Not so much to do differently, but a set of coil spring compressors help. Remove/loosen as much as you can to allow the axles to droop to get the springs in. Loosen the control arms and track bars, and I found it helpful to pull the speed sensors on the front. Remove the brake line bracket...
Ive seen some Renegades, some Compass, some NBS cherokees and some grand cherokees run around the property on stock street tires. Really depends on what you’re comfortable trying and what the current/recent weather has been like. In the dead of the summer drought, Ive seen the lower rim...
Graig,
I remember seeing your JT around the park Saturday, I had the white Rubicon with my sons black JKU. I was wetter than usual, had a blast myself and even found a way to get stuck over in “All Bad”
Looks like that splined slip joint will need a boot for those that play in sandy mud and/or use this as a daily driver in those areas that see snow/salt/brine on the roads. I had a set of JR Reels on my old JK and had to have both joints (front and rear shafts) replaced in a little over a year...
Ended up installing my JK ATS with a Yeti relocation bracket and my old Synergy tie rod clamp. At 17 clicks, it runs very similar to the olde Falcon adjustable. Haven’t turned it up to the full 25 clicks, but at my current setting everything is firm, no pulling/pushing and steering wheel...
Just finished up my lift today, Mopar 2” with a 3/4” spacer up front, the Synergy sector Shaft brace and Yeti front trac bar. Since I had it apart, went ahead and added the brace and trac bar. Upgraded from the 2” Daystar spacer lift. The Mopar lift and spacer added exactly 1.75” up front...
