Welded front will have NO CHANGE to the the steering IF the hubs are OFF My front is welded. I hop out of my jeep turn one or both hubs off, drive to town, and its all good. When Im ready to wheel again turn hubs back on. Its a poor boy selectable locker.
All Depends on what you do with you jeep. here is a very good old film. But it will help understand why our jeep will not turn very well on the street with welded axles.

Advance adapter now makes an adapter, however the ax5 can’t handle it. Trade up jeeps is the fastest opt. However there is a ton of guys hard wheeling with 4 baggers. Check your gearing ratios there might be some power there. Those four squirrels make about the same torque as my AMC V8...
Thanks. Her yj is spring under. I upgraded her to a 3.8 v6 with TH350 and a S-10 231. I have to remake the rear drive shaft anyway, so I was thinking of streching the Wheel base while I was there. I might also put an 8.8 under it also.

The wife told me I can't go four wheeling anymore until I get her Yj done. So I would like to know what are the pros and or cons to redrilling the Yj leaf springs about 2 inches? That would fix a drive line issue that I have and increase her wheel base.
Heres a cheap TBS. A 1 x 4 and a drill. If this home made one works then make a dission to keep it or go buy one. If I can keep my 88 yj running long enough to make a tbs then I will. Wood carb, or TBS have been done for years.
As for a cold air intake Hard ware store here I come. Not...
