well that's the problem.... the KJ is her toy. Although she does let me drive it when it's empty, or needs a wash. Funny how it's usually at the same time. :wtf2: BTW... yep she is short.... 5'3". So basically... I would be looking at roughly 20.5' - 21" if I account for the amount of sag...

I knew OME made the 925 & 947's, but was under the impression that even though they are similar to stock ratings, they were physically longer than OEM. Maybe I misunderstood? I’m sitting at 130k km’s… it’s definitely time to replace the shocks, and am sold on going with Blisteins, but I...

Is this accurate? My wife doesn't want a lift on her KJ... and I just can't see spending money on OEM springs. I would love to find better than stock **quality** springs that would bring me back to an original or slightly higher stance.

Will probably have the whole front end checked to be sure thats my problem first... anything wrong with UAP/NAPA remanu's if I need to replace it? Just can't see anything else obvious that's wrong under there, that would give me the vibration in FT 4wd. As soon as it's placed in 2wd it...

Boot looks good. When pushing up/down or side to side... you can feel & hear the click... but you cant really see shaft move while it's happening. Probably in the early stages of going out.

Yes... in the rear, where it connects to the transfercase. Will crawl back under and check to see if the boot is intact or not. I could see the front boot clamp but didn't look inside the collar. The reason I checked was because I have a **very** slight vibration when in full time above...

I was checking around under the jeep today and have a question... Other than the end to end play of the front drive shaft.... is the suppose to be ANY other play in it? If I grab a hold of it right in front of the transfer case and try to move it up and down, I have a small amount of play, maybe...

Had the same thing happen to me over the summer. I tried the permatex stuff they sell at auto stores, but it just didn't work out for me because where the tab mounts to the window, it pulled off a small piece of the defroster grid with the tab. Ended up getting some conductive epoxy, and all...

While reading some of the reviews in that edmunds link... a couple of ppl mentioned repairing the regulators, another spoke of a repair kit. Does someone have any info on the repair kits? The only thing I could find so far was this from steigerperformance, any they are looking at developing one.

Sounds good... I'd be interested in your opinion after you get a chance to try out the DTT.

Thanks for the reply... I've done a bit of reading here, but wasn't sure if it was indeed a complete replacement or not, as all of the lunchbox style seemed to require an open carrier. One good thing about having the trac-lok... it limits my options, and it'll get me into something that...

Looking to replace my factory trac-lok LSD with the detroit tt, and just wanted to know if it mattered if I had a trac-lok carrier vs. an open carrier in there now??? If I understand correctly, the TT is a complete carrier replacement that requires setting up backlash. (not really a DIY project)
