Sorry, I lost touch!

I had ordered the JBA kit and finaly got it on. A local Jeep shop installed it for me. I will pick it up tomarrow. I had to have a sholder rebuild and have been down for a while. I live north of Panama City an hour or so from Eglin AB. I will post some pic ASP. I am running back and forth to the doc's alot right know, but starting to get back in the grove.I will pick up my Jeep in the morning and get the front end alined. I sure hope this kit will ride smooth. I will find out soon enough. The installer called me and asked if the ABS light was on befor the install? He did not know why it might be on. Any ideas? The book reads if elect has been installed the computer has to go through a low speed ck to see if the ABS is working correctly?? It is a big mystery to me right now. I will find out soon enought. pc06er..(band)

Maybe the brake lines are stretched? Did you install the brake line relocation brackets or longer lines?

Also, take an easy with your shoulder. :)

Well, the ABS light turns out to be th front drivers side speed sencer. It needed to be removed and cleaned and I was told to drive it for a while and see if the computer will pick up the signal? I hope thats all thats wrong. It looks great and the ride is very smooooth.The Jeep rode very well befor the lift and I think it rides a little smother after. The guys at the Jeep shop was very impressed with the JBA lift. My tires don't scrub so I need some bigger tires."If they dont scrub they ant big enought" MAMA says you will have to wait:eek:. Thats fine I'm lucky I got this far. These tires still got plenty rubber on them. So this is what I am running so far, JBA 2.5 lift, AL's 4.5 gen A-arms, ABR front bumper. I need some lights and a wench and tires. This will take some time. I will post some picks soon. pc06er..:D

All right guys, I am an old retired plumber:) and if I could spell I wood have been an ENGLISH teacher. or maybe I need to rethink this and bee a Spanish teacher or something like that. At least I got a nice Jeep to tote my fat but around in:p in the woods. Please dont tell my wife about the WENCH.confused2.gif. Well my speed sensor light has not gone out yet so that means it got messed up during the build. Got one ordered for next week,I hope that will be that. pc06er..

This maybe a dumb question but i'm new to suspensions. Do you need to get an alignment again, everytime you adjust your height, with the adjust a strut system? I'm thinking about getting the 2.5" system for my KJ.
