    Anything wrong with 1 ring clevis lift with Rusty's 2.5" lift?

    3 is generally the norm, which will net 3/4" lift. 1 will net 1/4" lift.

    Looking @ Rusty's front struts before install and .....?

    Since it's just a few threads you could use a small file to clean the edges up a bit.

    Hard time finding common mods

    If you feel like an outcast, put on a 2.5" - 3" lift kit, a set of 31" - 32" tires on a set of 16X7 rims with 4.5" back spacing , rock bars, skid plates, aftermarket steel bumpers, winch, and you'll fit right in with the other Jeeps.

    Size of washers needed for rusty's rear shocks?

    I think those should be 3/8", and yes you'll need them or you'll crush the upper shock mounts in.

    People with Rusty's coil lift - where to buy rear extended bump stops ?

    I'm pretty sure those are only 1 1/4". One 4" rubber mallet head will make two 2" stops, just add 2 bolts and nuts for a total of about $5.00.

    Electric radiator fan is toast, help...

    Before you buy anything, remove the shroud and then the fan motor. Disassemble the motor (very easy) and see if there is dry mud caked on the brushes which will cause no electrical contact on the comutator shaft. This has happened to me and others that play in mud, just clean off the mud, allow...

    Quick Rusty's Suspension Lift Question....

    Rusty's front springs will start sagging without even adding a bumper, not to mention the rear shocks with the kit don't fit well and most everyone replaces them with Rancho or OME. For just a little more money, you could go with OME H.D. springs and Rancho's and not have any future problems...

    HOW TO: Change your Power Steering fluid

    A plastic hand pump, from the auto parts store used to pump gear oil in to your front and rear differentials would be a quicker way to remove the fluid than using a turkey baster.

    Lift kit question

    Where the bottom of the strut sits in the clevis fork, just raise the strut up 3/8"- 1/2" and torque the bolt to 100 ft. lbs. That's called a clevis lift.

    2x the lift?

    I don't think you've done enoungh reseach on the matter. With the current front D-30a differential, the steepest gears available are 4:10's in an already weak Aluminum housing. Even if you lift the IFS to fit 35's the gearing would be the downfall. That's why people SFA the front to be able to...
