    Front LCA boot / ball joint replacement

    Garage found that the front LCA ball joint boot is ripped open.. Is it possible to replace just that component? They wanted $2k to replace the entire LCA on both sides

    OME lift kit - which control arms needed?

    Thx Tom! Do you know the ideal backspacing for a 15x8 steel wheel with 31x10.5 tires?

    Is the clearance to the upper control arm an issue with the JBA control arms? I thought that was part of why they are better.

    OME lift kit - which control arms needed?

    OK to no spacers. OK to no Wrangler wheels :) I am wondering, with the setup described, if I could use stock Renegade wheels on something wider that 245s… I am just wondering if either the 255 or 265 would work for either 70 or 75. Am pretty sure I need an 8” wide wheel for 265/75 16 (and it...

    OME lift kit - which control arms needed?

    Thanks Tom! If I keep my stock Renegade model wheels, I know 245/75 are probably best. If I want to go larger / wider would I need to use spacers (I don’t like the idea of spacers personally just curious about options) to get to 255 or 265 do you know what I would need to achieve that width? Or...

    OME lift kit - which control arms needed?

    Does anyone know if these lower front control arms are okay? They are much less expensive than others I have seen. If you have suggestions for others to consider please share. Thx all! The mechanic is saying that it is less expensive to just replace the entire thing than replace the bushings...

    OME lift kit - which control arms needed?

    For my circumstance, I needed to replace the rear lower control arms because the bushings are severely cracked. Someone recommended the Core 4x4 adjustable as a good product / fitment. The Core 4x4 components have a lifetime warranty— you break it and they’ll replace for free. Plus they were...

    OME lift kit - which control arms needed?

    Great info everyone. So currently I am considering installing the Old Man Emu lift kit, with the Core 4x4 adjustable rear lower control arms, the JBA upper control arms, and need to replace the front lower control arms (because the two bushings are cracking on each side), the “A arms”. What A...

    OME lift kit - which control arms needed?

    Are these JBA upper control arms only for the front or does the rear also need these? https://jbaoffroad.com/jba-upper-a-arms-for-02-07-lifted-jeep-liberty-s.html. If it doesn’t work in the rear upper, what do you recommend? Also is there a specific part number for the Core 4x4 lower control...

    OME lift kit - which control arms needed?

    Has anyone ever run 15” wheels from a 1997 Jeep Wrangler Sahara on a 2005 Liberty with a Old Man Emu 2.5” lift? I am wondering if it has enough negative offset to run 31x10.5 15s?
