Agree 100%. Not criticizing the OP but I donāt trust mechanics I donāt know. Warranty service is different, but not for any service that I can do myself. Heck, I went to my trusted shop for an alignment after adding more lift a few weeks ago and they (the owner!) didnāt tighten the front lower...
I agree. I think that design could maybe help some. The shock brackets are still crap though. Nothing compared to the axle brackets on my TJ although I had installed a Tera60 (high clearance Dana 60).
Thanks. Theyāre a good shop. Sorry to hear about your axle housing. Am keeping an eye on mine. Might just decide to get it welded up before too long.
Thanks! Was expensive fix but worth it. I was following BigMeats post below and this was perfect opportunity to move mounting position up ~1.5ā, which gave me 1.5ā rear lift to boot. Then I added 1ā more lift to the front with my new Bilsteins (6100). Still need to swap rear shocks...
Itās a simple story. On local intermediate trail I hit a rock on rear shock skid (JCR) and bent the hell out of the mounts. I was able to straighten the outer mount but not the inner.
Local shop fabricated and installed new beefy gusseted 1/4ā steel brackets based on the Barnes set I brought to...
Unless you get SAS, the tires are too small for serious off-roading. Need bigger and tougher tires, and new wheels to fit the tires. For wheels I think the Sasquatch and Badlands wheels are ok but many aftermarket wheels are much nicer.
@kodiakisland - Do you happen to have the part number for the RC product? Iāve searched RC website and canāt seem to find any sort of rear brake extension sold separately. Thanks!
Because Iām in no rush, I plan plenty of time, and safety is always first. I go the speed limit or a few over ⦠unless itās a 70 mph limit ⦠then I go 5 under.
Looks brand new still but Iām retired and donāt put on many miles, and other than off-roading a few times I donāt drive it in crappy weather š
