Most aftermarket trac bars will not need it. It is designed to reposition the stock trac bar with a mild lift to keep the axle centered.

Would i be better off with that or just getting a new trac bar? I would rather fix it the right way the first time.

I picked up the new Rough country Double shear trac-bar and bracket for like $120 from rough-country.. I would start there!

And then.. a good upgrade for steering is Junkyard V8 ZJ package or something like the JCR 1 ton stuff.

Thanks man and no rush i will still be here lol...

Fixed the rear seal this weekend... I am going to need to rebuilt my D30 or get another rear end though...

Thoughts on that? Buy a used one or just rebuilt the one i have?

I was thinking it would be cheaper and easier if i just find a new one But want to know what you guys think...

Also got the Breather tubes ran up on the fire wall for the rear end up front and one ran inside the back of the jeep for the back..

Went under the hood and un pluged everything and sorted out all the wires got everything wrapped and wired up and a few things grounded that had not been.. Does not look like a rat lived under there anymore


On to the bad.... Tried to used my winch for the first time and the gears are shattered in it..b PO Failed to tell me this.. But o well

It's not too hard to rebuild your diffs if you have the right tools.

Yeah my step dad has everything i need.. can do it on the lift and everything... But whats going to be cheaper?

[shawnxj]

what are you plans for the jeep? are you gonna go bigger then 33's? then 35's? if i was gonna go bigger then 35's then i'd start looking for a 44 or 60 front and 60 or bigger rear but if your gonna stay with 33's then you can run the 30 front and either regear the rear or get a stronger rear then regear it. since it's a 44 already it's plenty strong for 33's

[whycantitbeT/C]

I Like the 33''s... But i have a free set of 36'' being offered to me and may like them..

But if running 36'' tires means changing out my D44 and changing out the d35.. Then i dont really want to do that... lol

I am just getting in to 4x4's.. (Like i said had to quit racing/riding dirtbikes... And before i drop alot of money or work in to something i want to give it a year or so to make sure this is what i want to be doing... After that this Cherokee is gone anyways and i will be upgrading do something in better shape.. This jeep is a POS to be honest lol the grill is zip tied on the muffler is hanging off the winch clutch is out... I Am slowly working on fixing everything but i dont plan to go all out with this one...

So i guess I will be sticking with 33''s if it will save me from doing all that work with the rear end...

I also plan on lowering it a little if i can.. i dont like the 5.5'' of lift i want it around 4-4.5.. (I dont know how all that works and right now i am not worried about it i want it running right and everything ready to drive before i worry about any of that stuff...

And with 33''s You think i need to re gear the rear ends? ( I know nothing about this sorry for the ignorance)

But if i re gear the front i will also have to do the back correct? The stock gearing on a auto in 95 if i remember is 3.55 And it needs to be lower?

Bare with me i am trying to learn lol

[jeeperjohn]

4:56 is the most common ratio for 33's. To regear both diffs it will cost about $500 in parts and about the same for labor.

[whycantitbeT/C]

Shit... Lol yeah i will be waiting to do that for awhile i think.. Don't have the money right now.. And i am pretty sure all my diff. needs is new bearings..

And i have my step dad for free labor lol
