    Upper Control Arms replacement

    Do a search online and you will find a how to video on you tube about replacing them. I just did mine while installing a new lift, had the same "while I'm in there attitude". I replaced with stock ones, the originals lasted 15 years so I figure thats plenty long!

    RC or IRO 6.5" Long Arm?

    I can tell you I have the IRO 5.5 long arm full kit with the Bilstein 5100's. VERY soft sprung, maybe to soft, and I feel like the front end isnt as solidly anchored in place with the castor adjustor who-ha-thingy as my buddies Rough Country long arm system. So soft sprung that now I get wheel...

    It came out of my 2 door with a stick, and now its in my 2000 4 door auto.

    locker issues?

    Maybe I am just mis-reading what a ratchet sound is, I did not expect it to sound like the front end was running backward while moving forward! Still doesnt make sense it only happens in 2wd. I also notice that while under acceleration it tends to pull pretty hard to one side or the other.

    locker issues?

    I will be opening the front diff up this weekend to check things out, as far as the brakes go they were all bled very well during the axle swapping. The calipers of course stayed with the jeep, but the extended lines are new as I installed an IRO 5.5 Long arm at the same time as the axle swap...

    locker issues?

    Just swapped the axles over from one of my jeeps to the other, the front 30 I swapped in has 4:56 gearing and a locker of unknown brand. When I am on the brakes hard in 2wd on the snow, there is a terrible banging racket, but it doesnt do it in 4wd. It seems like maybe one wheel is trying to...

    Restoration parts

    Looking for window seals for the doors (complete set), and a complete headliner as the original was removed by the PO. This is a 90 2dr, basically looking to give this one a nice clean DD makeover. Not sure where to look?

    That is priceless, and exactly what I was thinking. Looks like sunken shipwreck!

    Xj vibration and grinding noise. No it's not death wobble

    My money is on the rearend also. Just went through this on my 95, grinding noise that increased with speed. All the bearings in mine were shot, axle and pinion. Quiet as a mouse now.

    Front end damage

    Put it on the frame rack and have it straightened, then add some reinforcement. I would go with the HD offroad ones, they go all the way to the front. I have had two cherokees (including my current one) that I bought hit in the front, took them both to the frame shop, added stiffeners and...

    IRO springs

    Anybody know who makes the leaf springs they carry? I know they sell Rough Country also, but the have 3.5 and 5.5 springs that are military wrapped that don't list a brand.

    Front end done right

    Any thoughts on Rocky Roads steering setup? I've also considered their drop brackets and arms, but for the same money I could do something like IRO long arms, not sure which would ride and drive nicer.

    Front end done right

    I actually was looking at the Clayton system, just not sure I am ready to blow that much on a Dana 30, is sweet though. I already have Rubicon express 3.5 springs, and they are not to bad, and I am looking seriously at the Deavers front and back, just cant understand why there is no middle...

    Front end done right

    I've heard the Currie setup is good, but also crazy expensive. I will definitely have shackle relocates in the back, as I had them on the last one and they worked great. Still trying to decide on lang arms or just drop brackets for now, have not had long arms but have had Rough Country drop...

    Front end done right

    Taking the opportunity in front of me as I swap out both front and rear diff's and transfer case for diff's with 4:56 gearing and lockers and a Tera-Low case with SYE. What I want to do is get a rock solid steering and trac bar setup. Eventually I will go long arm, but for now I will spend as...

    3 or 4 link

    I feel like I live in a wasteland as far as the offroad scene goes, not sure even how to go about getting shocks valved properly for my rig and my driving style. I appreciate the info so far for sure, I considered fabbing a long arm setup but realized after thinking about it for over a year if I...

    As far as height versus needing long arms and the binding issue, I'm obviously not gonna be binding it flying down the roads here, but I had been under the impression that with the force of the road transmitted through the long arms instead of through stock arms mounted near your feet the ride...
