My last rig was a yj with the 2.5 and I had a SOA with 35s tried everything to make it work without a SYE and ended up spending more to try and make it work without one which never happened then i would of just buying one. The axle issue yes those axles are week and the ax5 transmission is too...

I am not sure heard that 100 inches is perfect for jeeps, I have just heard that cj5s rollover backwards very easily. Had another post to link the front and rear which I have considered.

I would love to link the front and rear just havnt got a parts sheet together for everything I need nor do I know what all I need or price and I heard that cj5s roll over backwards on hills and did have a thought about moving it by linking it would you know a full parts list for it.

have you checked your u-joints on the front driveline, does it do it in just 4 hi or 4 lo or both because could be in your t-case

Ive got a 73 cj5 with a sbc 350 and a turbo 350 transmission. it has 40 int tires and chevy 3/4 ton axles locked in rear and posi in the front. 456 gears. and 205 t case. I am thinking about stretching my wheelbase because I have heard a lot that a big problem with the cj5s is the wheelbase...

That would make more sense with a little lift but the article said had no lift and I did not see anyway that would happen

I read an article about An LCG lift "low center of Gravity " which involves no actual lift, but they were fitting 40 inch tires under a wrangler how the hell does that work?

And that would work great for me because I dont drive it on road much at all if I do its to work which is only 1 mile but mostly its a weekend toy that I do all the ork to myself and can figure most of it out considering Im a mechanic for a living but doesnt mean I wont have questions which...

O ok that makes since so can you get a gear reduction kit for most all tc because that would probabley help my 4 banger

On the back their should be two square plugs that look the same the higher one is how you check it take it out and stick your pinky in and if you feel fluid its good if you dont then add until it starts running out then put the plug back in Im glad you got your blinker fluid checked lol

Probabley a stupid question,but something I dont understand so guess its not too stupid but I started reading the atlas t-case post and dont understand the ratio their I get axle ratio but what the heck is t-case ratio

Have you checked the fluid in the transfercase? it can cause some funky problems and as far as 4 hi from 2 hi and vice versa the backing up and all that shouldnt be required unless its in a bind but not normally especially normal driving conditions. I always switch to 4 low at a stop but 4 hi...

I was mostly just posting to see everyones thoughts on the four link set up I havnt had a problem with the leafs yet and more than likely the top heavy feeling is due to the body lift. I was having a problem with U-joints breaking but made a new driveline that was longer and has worked awsome so...

I have a 90 yj with the 2.5 running 35s highway speeds are hard to reach, but nothing some lower gears wont fix. And I live in Arkansas and have had no problems on the trails at all if im in 4 low in high it is gutless but its never told me no going up or over anything the tires either spin or...

Ive read a lot of your posts and it seems you know your stuff so thought I would ask you some questions. Im a mechanic for a living so know how to do most anything,but pretty new to crawling I have a 90 yj with a spring over 35 inch tires body lift and a ratcheting locker, but dont know what to...

Well I appreciate the advice and Im a mechanic for a living, but new to crawling, so not real sure where to go next I love crawling and have a 90 YJ that I love and and would like tocontinue to build. Ive been craling for about a year so so far I have a spring over a body lift 35 inch tires, a...

My jeep is not a daily driver I do occasionally drive on the road but rarely, So thats why I was trying to decide if its worth the time and money my jeep also feels very top heavy probabley due to center of gravity but not sure so was just trying to get ideas on what upgrade to do next

I knew the four link was going to be difficult but is it worth the time? And will it tdo away with the top heavy feeling

I want to do away with the leaf springs and build a four link suspension in the rear

I have a 90 YJ currently with a spring over and was thinking of doing a four link but not sure what all I need to do to make this all work such as measurments and what i will need to do about a driveshaft and all that any help would be great
