Title: New lift questions
Post by: Moezer on July 25, 2012, 09:44:08 PM
Hey guys, so I boughT a 3.25 inch rouch country lift kit, i started to install i today but ran out of time since im fasting and stuff so I only managed to finish the front.

These are my questions.

1: Does it matter if im running a 2 inch lift in the back and 3.25 in the front? "on lvl ground the jeep looks lvl from the back  and the front since I have a winch and an aftermarket bumper"

2: I didnt manage to relocate the front track bar, does that really matter? "i do plan on doing it tomm" but still

3: I also did the TC drop that came in the kit also but now my shifter is kinda fuunny lol when i go in to 2d or 4d or R the shifter goes down more then normal is that ok?

Thanks for all the help.

No
No
Yes

Ps. Shouldn't fasting just give you more work time since you don't have to eat?

You installed a lift kit on your suspension but then lowered your tcase/tranny, why?
Now it "feels funnylol and lower"? Did you think it would feel higher after lowering it?
Auto tranny? Maybe a special shifter kit should be used

Perhaps your lack of food is affecting your judgement

The proper, but more expensive, way is to install a SYE & CV drive shaft... then you dont have to lower the tcase.

so guys after i was going to my wifes house i had to turn back home and parked the jeep due to ALOT of DEATH WOBBLE, I just finished installing the back end every thing went smooth, took the tc drop off so its back to normal and no more death wobble I do get some shaking going 80 but then it goes away, and i didnt have time to relocate my front track bar, the drive shafts dont seem to have that much of an angle on it so im not going to put the tc drop  thanks for the info

Muffintop i just got married and going to be moving in to my new house soon when its done being built on the 16 so im short on cash lol maybe down the road, this is my work car and as for off roading im not that hardcore

So you have an ice skate size 8 on one foot, and golf shoe size 12 on the other foot, and neither have laces....the 100 yard sprint is a problem? Many mechanics love beer and can baby sit you make sure nothing unsafe is on the roads.

hate to rant but please ask for help if you need it.

eat something before you put the public at risk, don't kill anybody i know...

you're kidding right?  i'm sure thats a bunch more dangerous than thousands of Calgarians that will eat at lunch today coupled by 5 or 6 beers........
frack i have baileys in my coffee right now........ ;)

moezer, readjust the track bar and then look to see what your toe measurements are like an allignment)  your toe is probably off quite a bit.  you can do this with a tape measure and a buddy.  google it for more info. screw it, i'm to lazy to explain, and heres a link
