    I am getting the stupid 0455 CEL code fairly frequently now after my Rubicon trip. The gas cap has been changed out and is good. What are the other things I should be checking? I don't smell anything near the fuel tank. Any recommendations on what to check and in what order?

    What shackles are you running with your Deaver leaf springs?

    What shackles are people running with their Deaver leaf springs? The two shackles - the Rubicon Express 5" shackle and my IronRock Offroad adjustable 5" to 6" both bind on the leaf springs, - since Deavers leaf eye roll is the opposite of a standard leaf spring.
