Mine is a 1996,the piece of steel was welded in

Man what a pain,had to enlarge just about every hole in the frame for the bolts to line up, there was also a exhaust hanger piece in the passenger side frame rail that was welded in that had to be removed for the bracket to sit flat in the frame,still worth it and I’d do it again,very beefy set up

Def looks like a different bumper bracket

Just got a set of these in,I figured it’s just cut till they slide in frame but anybody have an install write up?

Well I added a new proportioning valve ,zero difference ,everything I have changed has done zero difference . I Plummer in an adjustable Proportioning Valve and it stops on a dime,no rear lock up whatsoever,stops like my old JK Rubicon did ,maybe better. Wish I could post pictures of the setup

I called and they told me what I wrote in the first post ,I’m on the fence but with them being $250 or more difference from the Deavers ,it’s tempting. I’m not going to “race” my rig but do want a quality leaf pack other than the standard RE or OME type .

Well like I said before ,only thing left Is proportioning valve ,I pulled the one in the Jeep apart and it looks good ,the plunger/O-ring on the piston is sloppy though,not sure how tight it should be on the piston for the residual valve itself ,I will have a new valve Tuesday,if this doesn’t...

I run a stand alone and it works well,not sure of GVW rating but it’s about 8x16”

I loosened it up a few days ago to make sure it wasn’t dragging or holding the brakes

Brand new Mastercrafts 35x12.5r15’s

Leveled front end up and inch ,no change Only thing it can be is the Proportioning valve or possibly the rear brake line collapsing and holding pressure on rear brakes

Yes,I made sure the shoes were indexed properly ,really sucks because it has a great pedal and stops straight but if you give it just a little too much pedal she locks up,really bad on wet roads ,I can deal with it but as not as far as letting my wife or kids drive it for now

It’s lifted 4.5”

I see what your saying now that I thought about the shocks not having enough down travel

Shocks are proper length if anything too short of a shock would limit unloading once they maxed out like a limiting strap It’s been dry here plus I drove the Jeep minutes after putting rear shoes,drums and new cylinders in and it locked up,no chance for moisture and it’s been consistent no...
