Yeah, I know you thought that, but no i'm strictly stock. Hopefully sell in a year or two. That Jeep Gladiator is getting under my skin. Getting tired of crawling under and replacing suspension parts. Thanks I never thought of the e brake. Here's hoping that's what it is, but knowing my karma...

No lift Tom, just stock height. The trilink looks horizontal and not at a angle

OK, so after installing new rear shocks, coil springs and rear upper control arm, (which was a ROYAL PIA) a new sound developed after getting on the highway. A repetitive sound whose rhythm goes with the speed of the car. IIt got louder the faster I went and became loud enough to alarm me. I...

I thought there was a recall on the rears. My 07 was replaced by a recall.

I want to install new rear shocks and coil springs, but I'm debating about the rear uca. I've got 120k on a 2007 libby. When I went in for an inspection the dealer said it's just about ready for a new rear uca. Is it? Maybe mileage wise but what are the symptoms? Or maybe tomorrow it will fall...

Tom, When I got to the drivers side and pulled the wheel I saw the bottom of the strut had rusted away. ..the spring was resting on the fork. Ha Guess I really needed these. I have to choose what is next. The rear shocks and springs or the inner and outer tie rods. I'm leaning on the tie rods...

Ok guys, so I decided to tackle the front struts. It took me forever to get the passenger's side completed, but now I know the trick of it....and I don't think this is made clear anywhere because I've searched and looked in vain. The major and only problem was separating the bottom fork from...

so Tom, are you going to offer it up for sale to me? :) Take the next courageous step...

It's truely amazing what you find yourself doing when you need to save a couple bucks. You do what you gotta do....even the impossible sometimes. Maybe in another lifetime God will grant me easier circumstances and I can just install and be done. Then my time CAN be used for more important things.

rjk2005...good to know you went with jba trilink extender, but I am remaining at stock height, no lift. Why did you decide to use the Moog parts?

new rear brakes and caliper, bled lines.....

libordemise, Which brand did you buy? I've heard nothing but bad about anything but Mopar.

Guys, I've read all over the forum that when replacing ruca only the mopar boomerang will last past 6 mos. So I was thinking of getting a cheap aftermarket uca for about $110 and pressing out the bushings and ball joint and replacing with mopar parts. Does any one know if this is a feasible...

so I've been pricing OME nitrochargers which are significantly less than nitrocharger sport. Are these something I can use with OME coils?

thanks Bob, very helpful with the part #s. As for the bilsteins all I can find are HD. Are there medium duty bilsteins? Feels good to get everything sorted out...
