I would try going to another tire shop and getting it balanced. I had the same problem 5 months ago and had to get it rebalanced 2x before it was right. C

I tried to stay focused, but tell me again, why you want to switch from aluminum to steel? You like chipping paint and rust? Seriously, keep the aluminum. If you MUST switch, the 4.5" backspace will move the wheel further under your fender. Click over to ebay and do a search on Jeep Rims...

Big Lift 1989 GMC 4x4 "SOLD" Have you guys used this stuff yet? I figure since my old YJ is rollin 165k miles, I'd try the High Mileage oil. That stuff is great! It's like butter in my engine. It claims to help seal the worn rings and pistons that is common with older, worn engines. I'm...

All the things you mentioned are related to poor driving habits and neglect (hopefully on the part of the previous owner). I would just be sure to take care of it and try to do more work yourself. Not sure about PA's emmission laws, but I'd just gut or remove that cat and straight pipe it...

Sounds like your spending a pretty penny as it is. Might as well fork out the extra dough to get the extended uppers. If you're gonna do it, do it right. C

You've got plenty of people reading it... 105 views as of this morning. But no one has one to recommend. Sorry, dude. I'm a bumperette man. C

Could be worn tie rod ends. I think it has more to do with your steering than your suspension, but I've been wrong before. C

NK, I don't have a TJ either, but my YJ would get rainwater coming from below. When going thru puddles (we jeepers tend to speed up in puddles as opposed to most other vehicles) and the water would splash up and leak thru my drain plugs that weren't sealed. The other likely place is the door...

990 first try.

Ditto. No rear trac bar, no front sway bar. Once you do it, you'll never go back (and wonder why you didn't do it earlier) C

I know you already made your purchases, but I would've bought the E-fan and a rear locker. You should have $40 left over to get a K&N filter and then just gut your cat and buy a Dynomax Super Turbo muffler for $41 at the parts store (i did) and boom, you got the performance mods and a rear...

Yes, ATF for the T-case, and GreenReaper is right, there are 2 bolts on the driver's, BACK side of the T-case. As far as gasket goes for the diffs... just get some good liquid gasket sealer from your local autoparts store and be liberal with it. Anything that oozes out you can shave clean with...

It was 74 here in the south today... Just wanted to rub that in to all you Yankees. :lol: C

I believe it's 5" but not 100% sure. I have them on my YJ. Got a set of 4 off e-bay for $265. Great deal! Love em. C

2.5" lift on a cj with some 31" m/t would look very nice. No vibe problems. c

I can't comment on the JKS setup, but if it's not your daily driver, just remove your trac bar altogether. After my lift, I ran without ANY trac bars and without the sway bar for about 2 weeks. And my YJ is my daily driver. I didn't see any problems, but neither did I take corners at 30mph...

Also, if you get on flat ground, put the jeep in neutral and mark the tire with chalk in one place. Then count the number of rotations the driveshaft completes when the tire makes 1 full rotation. If it's almost 3 -> 2.72. If it looks like 3 exactly, 3.07. Etc. My axles didn't have the tag...

MerkL, I agree with Snitty. Do the SOA. However, if you don't have the time to do SOA and want something bolt on, you can do the 4" lift plus 1" lift shackles. That is the setup that I'm running. My shackles are actually 1.25" of lift and I have no issues with steering or wander. My...

dick, I would try the suggestion of ecor first. I just did a lift on my YJ (december '03) and after the t-case drop, I still had vibes too. I came here and TwistedCopper was the first to tell me about this little trick. My roughcountry instructions didn't include this step either. As soon as...

As I said... But my original rubber mounts lasted nearly 162K miles... that's a formula I ain't gonna mess with. C
