So if the XJ runs rough before it reaches operating temp does that rule out o2 sensors? Also if I take the vacuum line off the PCV (rearward vent on valve cover) the idle will rise then drop back to normal range and it seems to run better with that off? I dont know if that helpful for anything...

new controls arms are on and I removed the drop brackets. Jeep drives much better. I did not measure any angles but I can tell the pinion angle is a little off. No vibes, tracks nice, and steering feels better. UCAs at 15.5 LCAs at 16.625 Will still upgrade my steering box at some point though

will test the TPS to rule that out, any way to rule out IAC?

not Mopar but not bad quality

All of my searching has left me clueless still, here what ive got... 01 XJ with new Jasper 4.0 with roughly 5k miles on it since install 4 years ago. Jeep dosent get driven much but im hoping to change that and I want to get it it good mechanical condition. As the title says it has a rough...

Adjustable arms inbound Im going to get the caster where I want it and then go from there. Thoughts on removing the control arm drops b4 the new arms go in?

Wow! get what you pay for I suppose

Yea the steering box could be my main culprit, Ive seen people getting a Redhead box, what other option do you recommend? The box at least needs to be fixed regardless if its the problem or not

Yea those match stock lengths, im currently at LCA 16.25 UCA 15 and need I guess shorter uppers. A side view of the RC drop brackets you can see the lower mount is a straight down drop and the upper mount is down and bumps it forward roughly an inch. I think im dealing with a compound issue of...

Yes all joints are healthy Trackbar is for the correct lift I did some measuring last night and it looks like my pinion angle is 2° off and my caster angle is at 4°. I believe a little more adjustment there will get me pretty good. Am I correct that the front diff should be parallel to the...

they are steelys from rustys offroad, just cant remember the offset RC adjustable trackbar I do have some play in the steering box, which sucks since its maybe 2 years old

Any specific numbers I need to pull?

w/o trans drop I had some pretty bad vibes, at the time it was easier to make some spacers than go for the SYE kit Im running 31s and they are even with the stock flares. no clue on backspacing

yes its the RC forged adjustable trackbar im basically running this https://www.roughcountry.com/jeep-suspension-lift-kit-633xn2.html?find=2001-jeep-cherokee-xj-4wd-738826 but with stock control arms and control arm drop Ill get some pics and numbers tonight
